We don't have ours mounted.  We're here in sunny SoCal.  So we try to find tree-shaded camping spots, and a mounted panel would be counter-productive.  And we have a small (30 Watt) solar panel.  So we have it arranged so that we can prop it up anywhere within range of the cable, and in any orientation.
