tilting frame for flexible 100W solar panel

• use 20mm diameter PVC pipe (electrical pipe in Europe),
• cut them at the right dimension for your panel and insert corners, and middle parts.
• use M6 screws and nuts to fix the corners and the middle parts
• attach a small rope to keep the foot at the right angle

That's it !

The foot is cut into two pieces so that you can get the classical angles for the different seasons :

• winter 60°
• spring and autumn 40°
• summer 20°

I have printed these parts using PET plastic bottle filament. see here : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4969225

PET is very strong and can handle high temperature. Avoid PLA as a solar panel may heat more than 70°C...
