The creation of my personal solo-travellor.
#31
There are quite some good articles about profits of tilted solar panels. It is ofcourse logic that tilted panels will create more energy then the flat once. The question is also ‘how flat’? I there is no space between the solar panel and roof, the heat will become a problem in which the profits go down, too.
 
To be honest, during driving my powerhouse will be filled with 120 Watt, this will be the number 1 producer. As a amateur photographer, I drive and search for nice spots. When I park the car – during my wander trips, I will use the tilted solar panel technique. And travelling throughout Southern Europe, I will park my microcamper on a shadow spot and use the two mobile solar panels (tilted) towards the sun. I did it in Spain (Extremadura) and it was GREAT!!!!!! All the big campervans were burning away in the 36+ Celcius sun, while I was on a shadow spot, with 10 meter wires on the mobile solar panels. These 2 mobile solar panels (140 Watt) cost me 120 euro’s, so rather cheap.
So, these are the three ways to produce energy for my Anker powerhouse 757.

Practice?  In Spain – with 12 hour sun per day, the score was always 90% plus. Yeah, constantly full.
I add some tables to this reply, so you have an idea about the amount of tilt. Making a solar panel tilted is rather a simple technique, it hardly cost you money. Both the arm handles cost me lesser than 10 euro’s.

By the way, there are some great youtube clips ‘how to build a tilted system. Enter the name; Thomas Heaton in You tube, truely  great video’s!
