Going from .65 to .25 would be amazing..............split front to back, are the modifications about 50/50 or more slanted towards the rear?

Th 15 thin-film solar panels on the roof of the trailer are not transparent, so they allow no sunlight to pass through. We won't be loading and unloading this trailer once we ballast it to get our Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) so a transparent roof is not really necessary.
Actually, the rear meter of the trailer is where the Cd spikes. If it were not for that area, we would be in the teens, believe it or not.
