You're welcome (for not that much it seems :)).
I had thought about using linear actuators, both for ease of use when tilting and the added structural stability but I'm glad I didn't get that OC on the installation (I have the actuators so a bit of wire and some pins would get it done). In real world use, the roof mounted panel remains flat and it's only when in storage during Winter that it proves it's meddle. For today's pricing, adding an additional module to make up for the shortfall from no tilt makes economic sense. A user also has the availability of the increased power harvest.
Next, we will have to discuss diversion loads and use of excess harvest. ;)
