So if you do decide to go with a square roof and don't adjust for the sloping side dEi, I can recommend a KD roof. For our new construction project, the 3.5 m deep and 5 m wide roof is not to be done in RAL 7016, but in DB703. The roof is glazed with VSG and has 10 LEDs (one in the middle and one in the front, each in a row), an awning under the roof and a side awning on one side (on the west side).

Both awnings as well as the LED strings (switched separately) are on the same remote control (multi-channel). However, we installed the LED switching solution ourselves or had a friend install it. But it was a matter of an hour.

I don't know if they can also be connected to a wind/sun sensor. But since all the components are from Somfy and work with iO radio standards, I assume there are probably solutions for that.

In any case, we are very happy with the solution, and it ended up not much more expensive than your polycarbonate solution. Our neighbors chose polycarbonate because of the price and were annoyed after installation at how much darker it got in the living room after installation.

In any case, the construction is also made of powder-coated aluminum.

We also went to local craftsmen and other companies for similar solutions and some prices exceeded $20,000.

I hope I was able to help, even if I don't offer a 100 percent appropriate solution.
