The great thing about hydroponics is the yields you get are much greater than growing in soil, so it's really the ultimate container gardening. I'm finding out there's all sorts of methods you can use and I'm going to experiment with a few of them this year and see how it goes. I have a covered porch which faces south and gets a lot of morning and early afternoon light, but is shaded from the afternoon sun. It's covered which keeps the rain out, which is a good thing for growing hydroponically that is best suited for a greenhouse or indoors.
