About tilting - while it's nice to have this option, you'd better estimate your solar harvest VS your energy needs and think twice before going for tilted design. It's easy enough to install more flat panels. Climbing the roof and working there with tilting you can once or twice a year, but you won't enjoy doing it if you move around often. I've made my panels tilting to the sides, but don't use this feature because 490W flat works well for me.

With the price of panels dropping spend the money on more panels as opposed to a tilting mechanism.
Going up on the roof to change the panel angle gets old real fast. I'm betting most people with tilting panels don't bother after awhile.
