I went and ordered some solar.
Been looking and asking questions for a couple week about solar, didn't want to spend the money right now but I also don't want to run out of juice while hunting for 2 weeks so I ordered this kit, Win...

Speaking of poo, there is bird poo. You need to keep the panels clean which means going up there anyway. At least when they are tilted you can see the poo from the ground and only go up to clean them as needed. Some people go for days and weeks with their flat panels under-performing and then they are surprised to see bird poo all over the panels when eventually they do happen to go up there.
Bird poo is a specialized item though. EG, seagulls can get your panels on the roof or on the ground, but robins only perch on the ground mounted panel which is perfect height for them to spot worms. I have learned to run a loosely hanging wire across just above the top of the tilted ground panel so the birds can't perch there. Of course they will only perch facing the back of the panel so they poop down the front.
