Tilting Solar panels makes a big difference!
I had 2 100 watt Renogy solar panels on my roof and they seem to only have an output of 3.4 amps each. I added a third panel and now the max is around 10 amps this time of the year for the 3 panels. ...

the sun angle to the panels was a lot better than being flat on the roof
look at my shadow in the picture, they only need about 20 degrees of tilt to be 90 degrees to the sun
i have some ideas for tilt, like hanging the panels a little higher and letting the open compartment door be the prop behind the panels
i tried them leaning/tilted against the RV sitting on the ground, the breeze knocked them over, flat face down
this was 'ONLY' the first use test
they are NOT here to replace the generator, only to supplement it
yes i want efficient use, but i also do NOT want to picking them up all day long
