[VAC] Re: Solar panels mounting on roof



Hi , Lately I`ve been thinking of making a frame that would slip into my awning rail , stick out 6 or 8 inches ,and then have a hinge so I could lift the panels up and use them as a small awning over streetside window ( only 17 ft trailer ) and they would fold down against side when on road ( held out 6 inches by the frame around panels ). If you can visualize this . But I would be limited to streetside facing sun . As I have them now ,they have a portable frame ,kind of a pain to stow while traveling.
