I went and ordered some solar.

I will go fixed or tiltable in the spring I'm sure, I just won't have time to get it done in the next week and a half
So, let me poo on something that you haven't done yet - tilting. As recently as last week, at this very forum - Search doesn't work well but you will find it if you look hard - an estimate or prediction was made that an average person tilts his panels 7 times. He goes up and down the ladder 7 times - or 14 times if 2 panels need to be accessed separately. Then he is fed up.
To me, it's not even climbing up and down that sucks, but walking around panels on the roof. It's slippery even when it's dry, and it's not flat on my trailer. Stepping from the ladder to the roof and back again is a dangerous part too.
This would be TAD tolerable on a seasonal site, where you only do this once a season. Still, better to avoid.
