Here you can find a [general overview of various solar panel tracker ideas](https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/are-solar-axis-trackers-worth-the-additional-investment).
To tilt the solar panels during the day, we could mount them to a rod and rotate the rod, similar to [this mount](https://www.ecodirect.com/Tamarack-Solar-UNI-PGRM-5P1-Top-of-Pole-Mount-p/tamarack-uni-pgrm-5p1.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8fr7BRDSARIsAK0Qqr4xHvMvIqFGFAXQsrLIevLGQ5ZELeIHdAVhUrD0vjdXkz8LiQ_oPp0aAuqpEALw_wcB).

Sunpowergold panels have [MC4 connectors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC4_connector). We probably need a [5 to 1 T-branch connector](https://www.amazon.com/Solar-Branch-Connectors-Coupler-Combiner/dp/B0833Y99Q1/ref=asc_df_B0833Y99Q1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=416960572979&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9974211773035361050&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008236&hvtargid=pla-898513968645&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=97671768687&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=416960572979&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9974211773035361050&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008236&hvtargid=pla-898513968645) and an additional adapter from the 12 AWG cable to a 2 AWG cable that runs back to the charge controller.
