Cargo box VS Solar

[anutami]

I've decided to use a cargo box and wanted to get different opinions if it is possible to mount a solar panel on top of the box to elimate the "shadow" effect on my panels. The box also opens up on each side So I could tilt the panel to get it in the right direction to the sun.

First option: will this cause a major issue with my solar panels casting a shadow


Second option


Third option: just go with the shadow effect since it is a losing battle anway


Fourth option:
Mount the panels on the cabover portion of the TC. I am hesitant to do this because
1. Need to drill more holes again into the roof
2. Putting more weight over the cabover area.
3. wires laying exposed on the roof

Park where you won't have a shadow.

Using the existing frame work that you've already installed, raise the panels to the height of the A/C & cargo box with additional frame work.

Just a another thought.
