I researched more pan and tilt models to figure out how to scale my solar panel. It is pretty heavy so the motor used for tilting would need to have a gear box attached to it so I have the correct torque ratios. I've also found out that my arduino should not be connected to the deep cycle battery. Even though I can regulate the voltage, it is probably too risky to connect sensitive electronics to a high voltage system.
