To be honest, I've not used the software to model these changes, so you've kicked me to do it and I'll post back when done.
Very nice, so space for plenty more.
Hopefully, pleased with how it is currently performing - I managed just under 50kWh with the 18 No. Panels East West in June when they were the 390W ones.
The first picture with 6 panels only would be the way i would go and you could build them onto a sliding tray. So they could slide out and give access to everything above for the very few times you might need and can still give you power after being slid outwords.Presume these are mounted at 90 degree's, so vertical?
I'm thinking on doing something like this, not so keen on this design, but its 9 panels (460w Bifacial)
Problems with this design, ladder access to rear of house, potentially makes the lounge darker, generally more in your face, and more prone to wind damage.
Note: I've never got around to drawing first floor of the house, but the top panels would sit just under the upstairs windows.
Or this one which I think works better, and is less prone to the problems of the above, but only six panels.
The first picture has a total of nine, sodo you mean the second picture which has 6?
Yes, that's correct, 90 degrees, I have six 2 rows of 3 landscape in this area, I'll find a photo shortlyPresume these are mounted at 90 degree's, so vertical?

I did look at a similar option to you, but on the garage, but in the end just settled on the vertical ones.
Edit: photos, please ignore plants etc, work in progress!:

Did the calcs this morning, works out I should be generating 11,332kWh annually - that's based on no shading issues which could come into affect as the sun drops.
no - i was thinking the first picture without the 3 vertical ones....so just the 6 as a canopy over the deck, but the canopy could pivot forward as a unit giving you space in behind if need be for ladders.
Just had the email - instead of Go and SEG i'll change to Go and Outgoing lite paying 8p instead of 4p. I don't expect to export a lot over winter but i'll take it
