Yeah, thanks for the tip. I'm at least in passing aware of these solutions, but my problems aren't just concentrated around not owning a roof.

I also have detached garden house in my yard that I could technically quite easily have 4 or 6 solar panels on, but the problem I have at yard level is that I only have sun to where that garden house is till maybe 3pm on ideal days before it disappears behind the apartment building I live in. Any balcony attached panels would stop receiving direct sun after 1pm or so.

And even the sun we do have is greatly handicapped by copious amounts of surrounding vegetation. To the point I can't even really get my lawn to grow properly.

It's a lovely yard because it's kind of like having private park in the middle of a big (for my country's standards) city and because we are surrounded by big buildings it's basicly also very quiet, but that does ofcourse come with it's limitations.
