Ya, figured it was done already.       ;)      And I'm sure that's
what spawned the thought.

The motorized aspect and tracking software to automate this process
might require another aux. battery?

I guess part of my thought was a possible increase in solar power (for
lack of better term) if sun was reflected-redirected to the panel,
say, if panel was at a really poor angle to sun.

(but all this adds up to tending panels)

Kinda miss my Dometic but not really.
