Yes, they represent the same quantity. That they have different names in those two functions was an oversight, and a shame. Thanks for pointing it out. I'd have to think a bit more to form an opinion on which of them should be changed to match the other. |

I am minus one against “tilt” because the cross axis slope is the angle between adjacent rows. In my opinion tilt refers to the orientation of a tracker axis or module surface. |

pvlib.shading.shaded_fraction1d uses 'cross_axis_slope' as an input, while pvlib.tracking.singleaxis uses 'cross_axis_tilt'. I think these are the same thing - is that correct? If so, would it make sense to update one of them to be consistent?
I couldn't seem to find any discussion of this in related PRs, but apologies if I just missed it.
tagging @kandersolar, @mikofski, @AdamRJensen, and @echedey-ls, since you all worked on these functions and/or references.
