We also have 3 mature trees on the west side of the house that provide good afternoon shading in the summer.

I'm crossing my fingers that our city is able to work out a community solar PV garden. That would allow individuals to own PV with optimal siting and hopefully at a price discount.

Well, that definitely makes it hard to have PV. Good luck with the community solar PV. I hope it works out for you.
