Can the Solar panel be pivoted/angled to adjust for the best direction of sun exposure? My roof faces dead west.

you can turn the fan any direction and can raise or lower the panel by drilling 2 new holes in the 2 lift arms. hope this helps you

Between both rotating and angling the unit with the adjustable extending lift bars it should be able to face any direction.

You should install fan within two feet of the roof ridge. You can rotate it in any direction you want and then adjust the angle of the panel up and down also.

You should be able to do it, if you have access to a southern exposure for maximum direct sunlight. Although it does charge in indirect sunlight, it won't obtain the full charge. It would be best to mount the solar panel on the outside in direct sunlight. However, if you have a window with a lot of sunlight, you could face the solar panel to the window from the inside, and may be able to avoid having to get permission to drill a hole in the wall or window jamb to run the power wire.

It can be angled up and down via the swivel lever and it will adjust to any angle that we have needed it for. This is a great Shower Panel and I would highly recommend it.

I'm not sure - it would have to be positioned so the sun hit the solar panel - cant hurt to try it and see :-)

Yes. You have to turn the whole piece so that when u lift the panel it will face the correct way. The solar panel only goes up and down. It doesn't swivel.

Yes. I often adjust how far I open it based on how much sun we're getting and the angle of the sun. Easy to adjust with the cranking mechanism.

Yes, I have mine installed in the corner as well. You can pivot it to whichever direction you want.

There are two screws on each side to adjust the angle, but if it was mounted crooked, vertically, then no.

Yes, it is fixed. You can tilt from 0 to 90 degrees relative to mounting bracket when setting up in order to optimize the sun exposure.

Hmm... I don't know the correct answer to your question. I imagine that you probably can install it horizontally. However, I don't know if there is some mechanism that will work incorrectly if it is tilted on its side. This is a great tank heater though. I haven't had any problems with it and it maintains a constant temp.

It will be fine if panel is kept vertical facing south. it provides an amazing amount of light for as inexpensive as it is. We use it in our remote goat barn. You might want two for a 20x10 garage

There are "ideal" locations for installation, like north facing in your situation. But what really matters is the amount of time the solar face is getting sun light. My locations aren't ideal, but they get plenty of sun light to recharge the batteries. This keeps them in "nightlight" mode all night, with plenty of charge to turn on when my family I need them. These are great little lights, and I plan on buying several more.

I suppose you could do that - but it seems to me that the company makes two version of the switch - one vertical (if you have lots of clearance between the battery and the hood) - and the horizontal version - when the clearance is questionable - seems like a lot of work - if you already have the horizontal version - I suppose you could could try to make it vertical, but if it doesn't work - then you've just spent a chunk on change on something that now is just a piece of recyclable metal part. good luck!

In the direct sun, yes.....but the picture screen on the back can be moved or adjusted to compensate for that. The picture screen on the back telescopes and tilts....hope that helps

This shouldn't be a problem. You could use a couple of half inch aluminum angle strips and mount them in the frame with screws at the angle you want. I wouldn't set them on the roof of your camper without securing them. I see a number of them on the ground at camp sites. Mine are mounted on top of our motorhome and have the ability to raise them to gain better solar. The roof is quarter inch fiber glass. If you go to Harbor Freight web site you can see how they have done theirs.

I have mine in a corner, but angled. I think it would look alright that way, but we definitely prefer it angled

The solar panels can be adjusted up or down different angles to accommodate the sunlight
