roof style for extension

C P
il y a 7 ans
we are building a pavillion style extension which will attach to our house via a glass walkway and make our house L shaped. As it will be oriented to face North I wanted a skillion roof with clerestory windows to maximize solar passive aspects. However we also want to have photovoltaics and therefore I thought the roof style in my picture was best option. However my ever cost conscious husband thinks this will require an enormously expensive steel beam and that we would be better with a straight hip roof. This is also because the extension isn't a straight rectangle but has a jutting out section where our dining will go.
I'm willing to compromise but not before investigating whether the cost really is that prohibitive and if there is a way to get skillion roof + access for Solar panels for reasonable amount.
thanks
