That's cool! My goal is to buy and build a cozy home in ~4 years. It might be less than than, but, there's a lot of of my control.

I am not sure I would use PV panels as roofing, at least the typical roofing. Having that many seams to seal with a non-overlapping system doesn't seem at all practical to me, but I'd be very curious to see what conclusion you come to since it is a fascinating concept.

there was/is some small neigbourhood pilot project (state sponsored IIRC) in germany that uses panels as defacto roofing so it is possible.

That idea comes from neccessity, I want to optimize both angle and size for winter. Yes it will generate less overall but with oversized installation summer is over kill anyway.

That's cool. I think that it could be a useful technology, but, if I ever roof mount panels, I'd want to space them off the roof and use bifacials to help increase off-peak power capture.
