   There are lots of books about the best overhangs for given latitudes. Maybe there is even info online. I found a lot of good stuff at the public library looking under "passive solar heating". You, of course, want the sun in in the winter, but not in the summer. Since you are pretty far south, shouldn't need a very wide overhang.

   I don't know enough to answer your question, but the person who does also needs to know the compass direction, because the sun is high when it's in the South, but lower in the East and West.
