New solar array

 Is the angle adjustable on you array?
We live in Michigan and have to deal with snow a lot of it this year.
We have found a steeper angle lets the snow come off on its own a lot better!
Nice job and looks like it would be easy to add more panes in the future.

captainward:
Hi Bub 73, Yes the angle is adjustable with a long pole connected to a 12 volt electric car jack I installed under the frame, there are holes in the stabilizers that can be moved up or down as the sun gets higher in the sky with the electric jack.  We don't have snow, so keeping the snow off the panels is not a problem for us. But we do have a drought water is getting scarce.
73s  :O)

Isaiah:
nice set up.

Mary B:
Nice but all I can think of is *cringe* the wind here would rip that apart in days   :P lol I know everyone doesn't have 40+mph winds on a regular basis

MattM:
I wouldn't worry about it handling wind. 

I'd be more concerned the TV antenna pole casts a shadow on it.
