Then add a 400W wind generator and a pair of poles to raise it up to the drivers side (a rectangular aluminum flat plate with mount like a christmas tree stand that collapses to less than the max height of the warning lamps can have the pole go through it like a trunk while the plate sits under a wheel for stability - mounted on roof opposite the hatch) You could always add a spacer under the pole brackets to ensure clearance over the panels… and another pair on the other side.

The 270W is likely only with bright sun at 90 degrees - and in the NW that is not as common as in CA or AZ! Doubling the capacity should give you 400W or sop on a bright summer day and likely 200 in am/eve or in winter (overcast) noon conditions You might want to consider using the first layout BUT adding another pair.
