Do you think the weight of the roof will push out the right wall? On the left side, it's being connected to a garage.
The distance between the ridge beam and the wall is about 3m. The roof angle is 15 degrees.
The roof will have concrete tiles, but out of the approximately 15sqm on the right side, about 6sqm will consist of solar panels. Then there's also the weight of sheathing, insulation, and roof plasterboard.

Now I'm not a designer, but with a ridge beam, you don't get such large horizontal forces, right?
 
Nah, as long as the ridge beam isn't subjected to too much deflection. In this case, it would be about a max of 10mm according to calculations, in the worst-case scenario.
That wouldn't give many mm out on the wall.
I personally hadn't thought it would be a major problem, but an acquaintance of mine scared me. Although he didn't have any idea either and was just speculating...
