Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / solar heating system

Italian term or phrase: sovra inclinazione

This is to do with the inclination of a roof when fitting solar collectors. A bit of context:
"inclinazione ammessa dei collettori: 25°-65° (disponibile kit sovra inclinazione)"

The only word that is coming to mind is "overhang" but I don't think that's quite right. The annoying thing is that I'm sure I've translated this term before but I don't seem to have it in any of my TMs or glossaries so no idea what I used last time. How annoying!
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

if this refers to a kit that allows for the adjustment of the tilt of the panels themselves:

high profile tilt leg kit

as here:

or an adjustable roof mounting kit

i was thinking, and i believe "sovra" here may refer to the additional tilting provided by this installation kit. the tilting "over" that already provided by the roof itslef in case the latter is insufficient to achieve an optimum angle/tilt of the panel.

Thanks, I think tilt is best actually, I've seen it in a few sources.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Ok, thanks James. Perhaps I could just use "kit for large slope/ angle" then.
