Lightweight solar panels without compromising on efficiency?

Brute-force instead of adjustability: How many extra panels you would be able to mount to truck sides?
Panels are already enough cheap that on a project like yours it might be worthwhile just add more panels instead of complex, expensive and failure-prone tilting mechanisms.
It's an option, but the sides of the truck have lots of windows, vents etc., so not simple.
 
Perhaps about 20cm according to one of the images

Still heaps of lost volume in the middle of the roll... More efficient would be a stack of flat panels... then 100% of the volume is solar panel. I'm optimising for volume really.
