Pop Top mounting (1 Viewer)

[GeriatricWanderer]

Has anyone ever seen, or heard of, a panel fitted to a 45°, side hinged pop top roof.
I'm sure the gas struts would support it (Japanese quality) and I'm sure I could rig up suitably flexible wire routing.
I recognise that, at times, the panel wouldn't be facing the ideal direction but I'm not looking to power my Flux Capacitor, just pick up a few amps to keep my compressor fridge running. I really don't have space for another or bigger, battery.
I rather fancy this little project.

I have seen it done and with modern panels they are now flexible and low profile so lightweight so no reason why you couldn't do it

As above, and if it isn't pointing in the right direction, drop the roof for a while around mid-day if you need a charge.

Have one on my rear hinged pop top with no issues the flexible panel weighs very little think it's a 140amp from Sunstore.
