I've got a similar built stand for my panels, and i have one 2"x2" on each side of the stand with hinges mounted on the top. At the bottom frame, i have several holes where i can bolt on those 2"x2" in different angles, according to the seasons.

Nice setup there. I have been thinking about making the same adjustment mechanism as you are using.
Maybe when the weather warms up.

Cornelius:
As those panels makes a decent sail (i've added one 120W panel since the pic was taken), i've mounted a soft metal strip (the kind with lots of holes) over each hinge as an extra safety and for some peace of mind.
Though, a severe enough storm would probably rip those off too, if the hinges get loose... ;)
