create a cw from scratch, make a reference line from the top constrain. There you can add an angle constrain. Create a extrusion from that , make sure it overhangs the bottom. Go to the exterior or interior view and overhang there too, you can add a parameter ther for that. Then replace the panels you need to overlap, and your done. Hope you understand it :S

You won't be able to achieve this with typical curtain wall (curtain panel) system even you make your own. since the curtain panel cann't follow the ridge slope.

I would say you can try to use curtain panel pattern panel with conceptual mass family to achieve this.

You will not be able to do this with a CW or using a wall by face.  It appears that these glass panels are shingled as they go up.  I would probably model them as walls with end joins and room boundry turned off or use a special "wall" category family.  That might be better because it could contain those "spacers" that offset the glass as they are shingled.  The family could be type base sized.
