The New Design - Solar Panels Tilt I

I received the new design from the The Most High and making these boxes or slide frames would be tough. I noticed that He thought of everything. I had two 28" x 24" pallets laying around that work perfectly as the slide container.

A slider container for the risers on both sides of the roof will allow for each side to be raised.

The nice thing about this setup it a clean and jerk lift and drop on each twice a day.

I chose to mount it here since it is easier to remove snow and ice and wires are so damned expensive now that the length necessary is cut down to only twenty two feet.

The weight I must clean and jerk will be equivalent to a heavy man about my size.

I would be done with it but I ran out of hinges. I might not have enough wood for the risers either.

The risers will create a 3:1 pitch, which is low enough to still use some roof reflection. Later on, I may mount a reflective material on the back that is a mirror surface so the bifacial solar panels.

I also will add...

I was able put the solar panels where I wanted them. I was going to leave and go to the store to buy more hinges and wire but I have to stay until the wind calms.

For the first time, the windmill exceeded the charge limit with wind power. There was an alarm but not hear it because I was drilling, sawing, and screwing in screws.

The windmill is running solely off the wind and I am using a $20 Semi truck cab heater as a 300 watt resistor bank. It's cheaper and has a fan. In the winter time, the house can be heated with the heater for a little bit of a savings on gas.

Oh, I used cargo straps with locking cinches to hold the solar in place.

Also slid, the panel array from the back of pickup truck to the roof on top of 4" x 4" x 12' foot boards I laid from the sidewalls of the bed of pickup to the roof. It wasn't that hard for me to do. It took a couple of hours to push and lift the solar panels to correct position before I strapped the solar panels to the hinged sliders.
