Phased arrays work without having to repoint, but they don't overcome lack of incidence (insolation?) (e.g. we can't build a solar panel that works perpendicular to the sun (or nearly perpendicular) using phased array technology because there just isn't much solar radiation hitting the "dish" in the first place)
