Yes - Angle is important and once in the tropics flat is best (and hopefully no one stands on it). For further south it is easy to make up some adjustable legs that fold into the panel.

The assumption I am making is that you are talking about spending an indefinite period in one place. As with most things overkill works quite well as long as you have the space for it. About to spend 21 days off the grid in the Transkei with no access to electricity our "Hotel Mdumbi" consists of th...

Made "that Bots trip" with no issues. It will be up for sale early next year as we now us...
