Beautiful!!
Sticking a sail on the roof never appealed to me. So in exchange for
some penalty in reduced power, they build you a system that's likely to
outlive the gales of November, whether or not they come early.
Nice. You could do both. If the structure is like a Fresnel lens, it
could have a south-facing slope and still a low profile, i.e., it
consists of a series of narrow panels at the right slope for maximum
power, but only extending up as much as required by the width of the
panel, the narrower the panel, the less the upward extent.
