I don't really have a ton of area to put solar panels, given that my
house largely runs N - S. I'm not sure it's fiscally worth putting
them on the E or W facing slopes. I only have a little bit of S facing
slope. Some on the main house and some on the garage.
Obviously the farms have a lot of S-facing slopes, but that doesn't do
me a whole lot of good. :-)

Only because the shaded area might cover more surface area.
Solar panels are supposed to be mounted so that there will be
convection air currents flowing behind them to help them keep their
temps down.
Lower temps == higher voltage and higher power output.
But solar insolation is directly proportional to irradiated area.
Shade is pretty much shade irrespective of coming from a tree or a panel.

So would a tree shading a roof have more impact on the temperature
than a solar panel?

I would assume to say that is correct so long as you do not trap the
air underneath.

It shades the roof, so it does reduce the temperature a bit. Some
say it's about 5 degrees or so...
Of course YMMV....

I would assume it to be less because it is absorbing a bunch
of the energy and then there were still be the layer of air
between the panel and the actual roof, but I'm not an expert
on these things.
