We live in Southern Arizona.
The A/C unit is on the south side of the house.

In the summer time, you could fry eggs on the A/C housing.

Is there any advantage to erecting some sort of shade
over the A/C unit ?

Sounds like a good idea. If you can keep your AC condenser cooler, it
should have to work less transfering indoor heat to outdoor air.

Just a guess....
