solar tilting

Interesting device!

I'm thinking right now of how I want to establish a ground array at Casa Westend. This would be about 15-20 modules and they should have adjustable tilt for seasonal differences in sun angle. Up here, at 45 latitude, we get a short day in Winter so getting the best harvest is critical.

FWIW, I installed a four way tilt for the single module on my TT roof. If I had to do it over, it would only tilt one or two ways as getting up there to adjust different tilt angle is troublesome. In storage, I set the tilt to about 60 degrees and it sits like that all Winter. When travelling the module lies flat.

I am considering adding another module or two and adding battery capacity. This would enable me to run a small 5K air conditioner for a few hours, when needed. An alternative, while on trips, is to just pull in a camp ground and use the available power. I just would rather park away from folks, my personal preference but not always possible.

Just hope the wind doesn't come up with the panel tilted on that bracket.

Someone finally figured out what to do with all those unused brackets. :)

Thank you for that,

I haven't learned that trick yet. :(

This solar stuff has me :@ right now.
