Voltage drop from solar panel Voc to MPPT under load

[Sojourner1]

I considered tilt mounts, but so much of my camping is east of the Mississippi and limited to pulling into a designated camp site. Even when dry camping I rarely get to choose the orientation of my trailer. When talking to others, they noted that initially they tried to always tilt, but found it didn't work out very often. If I was out west and could park as I wanted on BLM land, then absolutely yes, I'd have tilt mounts. It makes a huge difference in production.

Depending on what or how much you want to run from solar, tilting isn't a crucial factor with the exception of the late fall to early spring or atleast that's my experience. I do try to point the 5th wheel nose towards the rising sun during those periods of time and let the sun arc sweep the door side of the trailer so not to get shading on the panels in winter shorter daylight hours. 580w on the nose and the 700w balance running the doorside of trailer.
