About 3m length of my 6m x 3m obs has a fixed roof, and the area under this is for desk, eqpt storage, solar charger, LiFePo4 batteries, etc. This roof sits about 20cm higher than the 3m RO section, and overhangs it by about 30cm when closed. Flexible rubber flaps keep the wind and rain out there.

Only drawback is that the fixed roof section slightly blocks OTA visibility to the low West, but only below about 30deg elevation in that direction.

The white roof in the pic is fixed, the grey roof is polycarb RO section. One solar panel on white roof, one on North wall at rear. Additional blue pier on old wind turbine foundation slab at rear RH of obs.
