It is the cheapest meaningful upgrade you can make to a fixed array, and it pays for itself fastest in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA panel lying flat on a caravan roof is a compromise. It is convenient, it harvests while you drive, and it is permanently pointed at the wrong angle. In a Cape winter the sun tracks low across the northern sky, and a flat panel can lose a large slice of its potential output simply because the light is hitting it at a shallow angle. Tilt brackets let you park up, lift the panel to face the sun, and get a genuinely better yield out of hardware you already own. They fold flat again for travel, so you keep the low-drag, low-risk profile on the road and only deploy the tilt when you are stationary for a while. This 71cm set suits smaller and mid-size panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable tilt angle\u003c\/strong\u003e – aim the panel at the sun instead of harvesting flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e71cm \/ 28 inch length\u003c\/strong\u003e – sized for smaller and mid-size framed panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds flat for travel\u003c\/strong\u003e – no added drag or wind load when you are driving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignificant winter benefit\u003c\/strong\u003e – biggest gains when the sun sits low.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks with existing panels\u003c\/strong\u003e – upgrade a fixed array without replacing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFramed panel design\u003c\/strong\u003e – bolts to the panel frame's mounting points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravanners who camp in one place for several days at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinter touring where the sun angle costs you real output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting more from an existing roof array without buying more panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-road trailers and campers with limited roof space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone frustrated by poor charging on short winter days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe ship Renogy components anywhere in \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A raised panel at highway speed is a large sail on a lever arm and will damage both the panel and the roof. Fix the base of the brackets the same way you would fix any panel mount, ideally bonded rather than drilled through a caravan roof. Remember to re-aim the panel as the season changes, not just the time of day, and be realistic about wind: on an exposed site a tilted panel catches gusts, so drop it flat if the weather turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick the panel from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-panels\"\u003esolar panels\u003c\/a\u003e range and a matched unit from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-charge-controllers\"\u003esolar charge controllers\u003c\/a\u003e collection.
