I already have a couple of trailers. I don't think I shade them except in early morning or late evening. I'm in no hurry, so I won't be riding regularly at those times. They could be charging the spare battery while I'm not riding. Also, rather than put my panel(s) on a static structure, I think I'd build some sort of thing that would allow me to adjust panel angle. If I give myself time to think about it, that shouldn't be too difficult.
