I think the panels look quite good, but I think they would look even better if they extended the full width of the roof rather than ending at an arbitrary length. Of course the best look would be to do the whole side of the roof with the panels but that would be expensive. Perhaps some roofing company could make some dummy panels that look the same as the solar panels, but are just regular cheap roofing.
