Solar panel as a wind deflector for rooftop tent?

[WranglerGuy]

This might seem strange, however let's go for it. I have a new roof top tent I'm putting on top of my Jeep. Is there an existing solar panel bracket or system that can be installed in front of this thing that deflect air up and over the rooftop tent while on the highway?

If not have any of you tried to build something like this?

That could be a little dicey, you would need to build a very sold brace to prevent that from breaking

Make a cardboard copy of your panel and set it in place. If you don't have a panel, find some dimensions online and copy that. That will give you an idea what it will look like. You will also see how far forward it needs to be to clear. if you wanted to get creative you could build an arm that will lock while driving then swing away so you can open your tent.
What I described was a panel I saw on a trailer with an RTT on top. When he parked the panel swung out and he would tilt it towards the sun.

In my opinion, it can be done but your better served with an aluminum air deflector

Why not just install it on the roof or your tent?

+1 I would mount on top of the tent vs front like that
