If you are designing for the worst month, December, then every other month should exceed your needs. I see no reason or benefit to try to improve production in the other months unless your consumption requires it.
Drawing is not necessarily to scale, but the shadows shouldn't be significant in the winter (< 15 feet per row) and in the summer will not be large either once I adjust the tilt more towards 0 degrees.
Exactly. That's what I'm showing in my drawing
While the shadow is short mid day, you will lose some production the rest of the day when the sun is lower in the sky and to the sides. Take the above post, each array is on each side of that shed and morning/afternoon cast a shadow on the shed wall above the overhead door opening. I plan on installing panels above the door openings but have to space in about 10 feet to help with that shading.
You have backup generator? Or some other way to heat house without electricity? I mean those calculations are only averages and at least here up north fluctuate a lot monthly while yearly production is much more accurate.
With backup generator I think you be just fine. My predicted (PVWatts) estimate were 42MWh for my 44,1kWp vertical array and it actually did 44,6MWh first year. Your calculation parameters are much more conservative so I bet it'll work nicely.
The usual suspects would be mt solar on pole mounts (big bucks) or something like these Sinclairs (not recommending shop just a link that came up). There's also Tamarack and Integra amongst others.

Sinclair SkyRack - Ground Mount Solar Rack for 12 / 18 / 24 / 36 or 48 - 48 / Fixed Tilt - ShopSolar.com
Our American-made ground mount solar rack system is versatile, easy to install, and a fraction of the cost of competing brands. Prices will vary based on the # of solar panels you have / need. You can pick from our pre-determined rack system sizes here, or reach out if you need a ground mount...
I've just gone with whatevers cheapest cost per Watt at the time. First ten was Hyundai 300W, then 370W Aptos and 375W Vikram bifacials. Main goal for me is trying to have Voc around 37V if possible allows me to have more on a string. Thr Hyundai have that but the others are closer to 41V.
85° adjustable tilt would have to be custom made, if you can find someone will to do it. Sinclair only goes 55° max and they will limit pole height after it is run thru engineering. They do portrait but don't offer what you want. MT Solar is landscape only.
I'm good with that! I just need 100' worth of panels.
Decide what AIOs or charge controllers you're going with, determine the best VOC needed to get series string with high VOC, but low enough for cold weather increases, shop for panels in that VOC range and width you need to fill 100' span. I'm guessing you'll fit max of 27 panels in a row, 9S strings would work nice if that's the case.
I've given my advice on what equipment has been working for me many times. It's all I have experience with so I can't really comment on anything else.
From those choices I'd go with Hanerson (never heard before) because of it's specs. It has annual power decline of 0,3% (exellent), 23,5% efficiency (excellent), 90%+-5% bifaciality (excellent) and -0,24%/C Tc Pmax which is better than excellent. I mean I haven't seen Tc that low.
