The rotation between the frames allows the solar panel to tilt. The brackets are the lift frame and securely fasten the solar panel to the surface to which it is attached. Everything is attached to the brackets, the solar panel, actuator, rotation pin, and whatever else the kit might have.
You can install a motorized solar panel tilt kit for arrays attached to RVs and even vans. A motorized system has even more utility on a vehicle than on a home, as moving vehicles must have their angles adjusted constantly, and you must put the panels down when the car is in motion.
The rotation pin links the bracket that holds the solar panel and the frame secured on the surface together. It allows the rotation in the panel that allows the panel to tilt up and down. The bottom bracket has the bottom of the actuator, the top has the top of the actuator, and the rotation pin acts as the hinge it swings on.
Since we had a single large panel, the installation of this solar panel tilt mount was relatively easy. If you have an array of smaller panels, we would recommend attaching them all to a roof rack and then tilting the entire rack, rather than making tilt mount for each individual panel.
However, in general, all motorized tilt kits come in three parts: The rotation between the frames allows the solar panel to tilt. The brackets are the lift frame and securely fasten the solar panel to the surface to which it is attached.
Avoid the “Automatic” follow the sun motorized units. They don’t work. A good rule of thumb is for every degree of latitude you are at, you should tilt your solar panels by the same amount. If you RV in the northern environs, tilting might be required, especially in the winter.
