I'm sure that is the ideal place to be.
Additionally I'm using solar hot water so as an added benefit it works for that great as well.
THere are other landscaping benefits to take advantage of if you're aware of the suns heat. Example certain palms planted on the cooler north side of your hause may not be happy, but in direct sun on the south they can thrive, but that's another whole issue.
