A device for mounting a solar panel to a vehicle includes a base frame, and a plurality of actuators pivotally coupled to the base frame and pivotable about respective pivot axes. Each actuator is transitional between a retracted position and an extended position. The device additionally includes a hub coupled to the actuators respective spherical joints. The spherical joints are configured to allow the hub to move relative to the actuators about two axes. A panel support frame is coupled to the hub and is configured to be engageable with a solar panel. The panel support frame is selectively positionable relative to the base frame via selective positioning of the actuators between their respective retracted and extended positions, and via selective pivoting of the actuators relative to the base frame.
