The starting point for me --- two 550w Renogy panels (which aren't mounted down yet). I've got two more of the Renogy panels on order and should arrive in a few weeks. I'm likely going to put some of those white stones underneath
Eves & rain gutter seem to be almost over top edge of panels. In my region, I think that would cast a shadow in the summer. You're in Maryland; does sun never get beyond straight overhead?
But in that case, slope of array would mean reduced production during (clear) winter days. OK if summer is when you care about. And maybe bifacial and white rock helps make up for it.
Looks like trees to the left will cast a shadow.
The only thing I'm grappling with right now (OCD kicking in) is whether or not I got that angle / slant right. I guess I'll find out once I start populating that rock, eh?
Check an on-line insolation calculator.
