Well I have a large sectional concrete garage that has limited windows

Problem is the roof runs North to South, so should I put them all on the
East slope?
I don't think it would be feasible to set them into the ridge.

Why just limit it to the East side? You'll get just as many hours of
sunlight on the West side. But why use what appears to be essentially
a third world solution to the problem, where resources are scarce? You
could easily and probably more effectively put several skylights in,
and with less risk of leaking.

Or reroof it with the rigid profile panels used on farm buildings
using some metal and some plastic .. (same profile but it lets in
light).
