I don’t understand how this achieves a higher density. Won’t taller towers cast larger shadows, thus requiring towers to be spaced further apart?

These are not just taller. They also rotate to track the sun --- makes them much more efficient.

The increased "density" is measured in kwh per acre --- and the increased efficiency figures into this.
