Solar Panel Performance vs Sun Elevation
There are many factors that affect panel performance but one that is predictable is the angle of the sun striking the panel. The literature suggests that the panel watts * sin(sun angle on the panel) ...

I'm not sure adjusting for noon is the optimum angle. By 1pm I'm usually in absorption, meaning not all available current is going into the battery. The sooner the batteries get into absorption, the closer they'll get to 100% SOC. That means the panel should also have an east angle component.
