I don’t know how many of you guys change your tilt angle with the seasons…

I changed mine yesterday. I went from my Summer angle of 15 degrees to my Fall angle of 40 degrees..

    I used to, but anno domini has attacked full-force so they are now set to the Spring-Fall angle year 'round. Since the Summer days are 16 hours long and we're not here in Winter when there's only 6 hours of daylight that works fine.

    I change mine twice a year. Late Winter/early spring after the last of the snowfalls, they go to about 30 degrees, and in the Fall, just before the first snow, they go vertical for the Winter.

    I change mine roughly halfway between the solstices. The farther north one goes, the more the angle makes a difference. My winter tilt is rouhgly 30 degrees and makes a big difference with snow build up.

    I'm waiting for hurricane season to end before I raise mine. :roll:
