You have a lot to do - but we can help you. First off, we need your month by month kWhr consumption for past year and the associated costs for kWhrs in the varying seasons and for differing consumption levels. This allows us to figure out how many kW system. Then we figure number of panels. Then we look at roof to see how panels can go up and where. That determines amount of racking and wiring.
Not trying to be scary, but old man winter is puffing up . . . . .

No pressure!! Right??
We only recently moved into this house, so my data is limited.
July-1581 kWh August-1455 kWh September-1260 kWh
Yesterday was actually step 1 in this process. We rented a lift and took down 3 large trees. One of these completely shaded our southern side of the house, but it needed to go. I will add pictures of the roof in a separate post.
