A panel lying flat on a van roof is presenting almost the wrong face to it, and midwinter output collapses accordingly. Tilting the panel towards the southern sky can lift winter yield substantially — which is precisely the season when a conversion needs every watt it can get.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe catch on a moving vehicle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tilted panel is only safe when stationary. It must be laid flat before driving: wind load on an angled panel at motorway speed will destroy the mount, the panel and possibly the roof. That makes tilt frames excellent for vans that park up for days and awkward for vans that move daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenogy are explicit that this should be installed and serviced by someone competent, and that fixings must suit the surface. Larger panels have less adjustment range, so check against your panel size. Wear gloves and eye protection, and get a second person for the lift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51358099603623,"sku":"RNG-MTS-TM100-UK","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1158\/3143\/files\/20190308_051938_5196t5c-all_sl1000___81687.1561167427.1280.1280.jpg?v=1789801013","url":"https:\/\/shop.roamwired.com\/products\/renogy-solar-panel-flat-roof-tilt-mount","provider":"Roam Wired Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
