TBH id be more likely to erect a shade house rather than an igloo as summers are hot and winters are mild. Im sure you get me eh. Id also think about the direction I wanted my beds to catch an even amount of sun across my beds during the day and the crops id want to grow. Then take into account where my shade is in winter as the sun goes lower etc. Weather statistic info is also useful when taking on a project like this. Thats the road you'd take if it was a commercial venture but in the back yard we are always limited by space etc.
Is that your setup above? Also what would you need the solar Kit for. Seems you have an advantage to a degree on a hill, but remember your gunna get more breeze up there, Im not sure where you live and how cold your winters are but you may want to consider cold winter breezes that want to blow through your tunnel. Even if you close of the ends cold air might leak in. Good luk with it mate hope this gives you a few things to get your thinking cap working.
