I've been giving some thought to systems for a boat with electric propulsion and recharging it.

One option would be to mount the panels that would normally be fixed to an arch on tiltable and rotatable poles instead. It may mean less total panel area but would the efficiency gains of adjusting throughout the day be worth it? Here's a couple of examples and some anecdotal evidence from the p
