Thanks, I was looking for a portable dual axis solar tilt solution to capture more electricity from the sun from my rooftop.

If it was heat, I would have just moved to a higher altitude place with a bonus of fresh, cool air.

My van is white, BTW ;)

so far i landed on a sketch.

Have a Crack at the design integrity Engineers :)

Cause f*** you why not Lol

TL-DR: I want dual axis solar array on my hiace rooftop

Explanation:

This video clearly states the advantage of having this feature on your solar, gives you more than 8 hrs of peak power (8:00 - 17:00) with a comparatively small surface area (perfect for space-concious application), compared to about 5 hrs laying it down flat (10:00 - 15:00)

And yes, I get it. A 30% increase in energy collection daily isn’t significant to justify the maintenance that can come with actuation.

But as a guy living in a van full-time, 30% is the difference between having 2 ceiling fans on for an hr and 5 hrs through the night. Yap, full blast, it’s hot here.

Further more; this video show-cases the single axis solar array, Then I started wondering, if it reaches high noon, this guy will have to I dunno, turn his car around? So that the solar panels can actuate another way around.

Surely there is a solution to this somewhere… right?
