Probably the only bonus of that system is that it buys you 3 more feet on the sides of your roof as code requires panels be mounted with that gap to provide walking access to firefighters.
So…not a lot.
Historic home, I will only put panels on the back of the house because of the appearance, but would love the benefit of front panels for the afternoon sun.
