Solar on An RV is a compromise
Getting some extra, it's better than no extra
I know that during the winter day different panels are going to get some shade part of time, but then they produce more power when other panels are getting some shade
Besides just using longer extension drawer slides would move the back row out further, from the panel above it.
I placed panels to get as much wattage on the roof of our DP as possible
Not to avoid A/C shade or vent shade etc..
They are all wired parallel and have built in blocking diodes so losing power from one panel does not drastically affect the total output, it's not a total shut down
When one panel is partially shaded
