Love the idea of motorised angle for PV panels, but to get a true benefit panels need to be adjustable in X & Y axis to angle towards the sun during the day ( east to west) & angle to horizon ( summer to winter ). Benifits of only X is marginal.
Haven't worked out the KWH benifit, but curious of what the benifit would potentially be, have you figures of potential gain?
This is a good online tool for different angles versus gain.

I looked into this when installing solar thermal and raised the angle off roof for best all year performance.![20220925_184606.jpg 20220925_184606.jpg](https://diysolarforum.com/data/attachments/113/113508-e616183f94053f60a6b855d8e6a658bf.jpg)
