Is the charge controller beneath the panels in the rack 'corral', or ahead of the rack?
With a prop rod at the center front and back you could latch/hinge it to either side, you have two choices and it wouldn't have to lift as high.

For load? An LED light bar across the front, and a 110v AC outlet.
