Tilt Angle and shape of Add Rooftop PV measure

i'm having a school assignment in which i need to add ov to my model. I had a previous problem in calculating the Shading effect of solar cells but i figured out that there is a new Osm Measure Add Rooftop PV that gets me both the energy generated and the shading effect on thermal loads but i still have a problem understanding the shape of the used system as i'm using a [Model] (/upfiles/14871503712347688.png) that has a roof of both flat and inclined spaces. i do input the percentage of the roof to be covered by solar panels but does that include both inclined and flat or flat alone. also are the panels fixed with an angle on the roof or it's angle is zero " same as the roof components". can i change it's angle ? also can i still add more pv on the shading system, i found an Energyplus measure that does that Add Simple PV to Specified Shading Surfaces but i can't use both measure same time. please share your thoughts with me on this issue
