I made a tilt mount for my front box. Ive never seen anyone do this. Hell Ive never seen anyone with a front hitch for a box. But my old chevy campervan came with it. So I got a funky shaped hightop that doesnt allow for more than 2 panels and I got tired of lugging my 160w in and out. I came up with this.
I built a wood frame with 2x1's so im not putting pressure on the aluminum of the panel. Simple hinges in the front and a single pneumatic pump found here. Which both holds it up and down. I.E. it doesn't flob when bouncing down the road.
You can do similiar on your roof with a linear actuator and a controller. My front panel outputs 33% more when tilted so you all with limited roof space would benefit with a, frankly badass, remote controlled mechanical tilt panel setup.
