Setting up and aiming portables is not always convenient. As much juice from the roof as possible, is a great starting point even if flat might yield a tiny fraction in winter.up north of what tilted can yield. And how i would restart from scratch if i were to do so.
Roof mounted.panels are almost always doing something, when its light out even if it is only powering a tiny load. That is a tiny load the battery is not having to power.
Portables with a good extension cord when safe and.convienent to employ can be a whole different charging system on its own solar controller and be extremely effective..especially when re aimed at the direct sun several times a day.
Roof panels can be made to tilt.
Mine can, yet I never do.
Panels facing morning sun make for happier batteries.
More is better. Permanent roof mount, or portable, and potentially both.
