[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 475185, member: 4430"] An interesting article. For most situations, it is best to allow an air gap of several inches behind the panels to allow air circulation and so improve the efficiency of the panels. Having them on a bit of an angle would likely improve that air circulation due to convection, but most motor home panels are mounted flat likely because it reduces the windage. If flat it also means that you don't have to worry about how you orient your vehicle towards the sun. Rob P. [/QUOTE]
