Great questions.

The panels are angled a good bit just because of where they are sitting on the side of a hill. Eventually I will elevate them and mount them to something so they all face an optimal direction. As far as the weather goes, I have been toggling them manually. The timers are set for full sun and I actively shut down miners as needed for cloud cover. I have a camera in the room that lets me check on things remotely. We have a separate solar/battery setup that runs our housing area which is basically a camper with a solar patio. No generators. We do have propane that can run our fridge if needed. We do everything electric when possible. Maintenance is mainly just cleaning the panels once in a while. I like to do that when it is raining to make use of the free water. Right now I also need to trim the grass that is creeping up between the panels. Thanks for the questions.
