Default Looking for something like a window stay - but not quite

I'm after some adjustable stays for varying the slope (manually on an as

Tweaking them for summer / winter makes some difference but not as much as you
might think and as panels are now dirt cheap why not simply oversize them say
1.5x and keep them fixed and flat?

Yes, I know, but the boat points in different directions according to
where it's moored so the panels need to be pointed accordingly. I'm not
aiming for optimum power, just a bit better than horizontal. In
addition they will get rinsed better with a slope on them.
