We've also added a tractor type turnbuckle to the DPW racks that allows
the tilt adjust without taking loose the array.
As others noted, the Top of Pole mounts are usually center balanced, so
the tilt adjust is fairly easy, but wind can certainly grab the array
while its loose, and cause trouble.

Hi, My client wants one of the larger "top of pole" racks but we all
know that adjusting the tilt on those is not easy once they're loaded
with glass. Does anyone make a poletop rack with a geared adjustment
which could be cranked by hand? OR: how about a satellite dish
actuator to which power is applied to change the tilt? OR: Does the
esteemed Wrench List have other options or suggestions to consider?
Thanks as always. The Wrench List is the Bomb!
