SECTION 1 | Introduction
Mounting your solar panel inclined to an optimized angle with respect to the horizontal
axis can lead to increased annual collection of sunlight. Depending on the location and
time of the year, this could lead to up to 50% more solar energy collection compared to
horizontally mounted panels. Typically, for optimal annual performance, the solar panel
should be tilted at an angle equal to 0.9 times the latitude of the location with respect
to the horizontal. For optimal summer performance, the solar panel should be tilted to
an angle equal to latitude – 15 degrees and optimal winter performance the solar panel
should be tilted to angle equal to latitude + 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal.
The ADJ-28 Tilt Mount kit includes 4 Nos. sturdy 28” Aluminum mounting rails, 2 Nos.
14” Aluminum brackets (Fig. 1) and stainless steel hardware required to securely fasten
a solar panel to the roof of your Recreational Vehicle (RV) or any other at surface. The
inclination of the solar panel can be adjusted to a desired angle with respect to the
horizontal axis.
