I have 4 solar panels, one 125 watt on the roof and three panels mounted on the side, one 85 watt and two 100 watt. The side mounted ones can be tilted or removed and set out in the sun. All the panels are 12 volt and connected in parallel. I have three 50 foot #10 cables that I use with the portable panels. When I'm within 50 feet I run a cable to each panel. When I'm further away I parallel the panels and can go as much as 150 feet. This will reduce the current but it's better than nothing. You don't need to constantly chase the sun. I move mine about three times during the day. If this is too much work, set the panels flat on the ground. The system works well.
