Powered solar panel tilt?

Hmmm... I see what you mean by prices.

Looking, I found these fascinating little items. Actuators that operate by expanding when warm, and you can adjust at what temperature they move how far. Lift up to 33lbs and 18 inches. And cheap!

Maybe not applicable to an RV that moves a lot -- you'd have to adjust them each time you camped at a new altitude or closer to water or whatever. But maybe useful if one were staying in the same place for a while. I just figured I'd post them and maybe someone will find a use :B.

When the electric tilt is half the price of the panel I will have some interest.

..because we're getting older and older.

The Q always has a power-tilt vendor on Kuehn St.

Most all tiltable panels will tilt either way, depending which side the bars are placed. 4 way tilt requires more hardware.
Power tilt has been available for a long time. But will cost a lot more than adding the panels that will make up for it.

Naio, fewer and fewer people use any tilt at all, these days. It's easier to get more flat panel wattage instead.

Don't recall any powered solutions here.

Westend has 4-way tilting - not powered.

I can tilt either way with these. I face E or W. Pay no attention to that big shadow.
