I would vote for second.

Also, think about symmetry and revolution: 4 panels and 2 agridomes, 
they should be 60° apart of each other. To balance the torque, agridome 
should be 180° of each other and if panels come in two kind, each kind 
should be next to each other.   (ABCABC when turning around the axis)
