Wanted to keep sun out of Koi pond in backyard and also knew wanted to get rid of oil furnace so solved two issues at once; (1) cover Koi pond with solar panels for electricity to drive a heat pump and get rid of reliance on oil. To be fully energy neutral need to add more solar panels so also putting in solar awning plus solar tubes to collect for hot water.
