Angle Mount

Is it better to mount a solar panel on a vehicle at an angle or flat?

My class is making an electric vehicle and I need to know if it is better to mount a solar panel at an angle or flat on the back of the truck we’re using. Please cite your sources so I can check your information. Thank you.

Much like the Mars rovers, I would lay them flat. The rovers however also have the ability to follow the sun while they are stationary so they can absorb the maximum amount of energy, but I doubt yours will be as complex as NASA’s
