With more and more add-ons adding a tab in the N panel, the later can easily become vertically overcrowded by tabs (especially if the user has many addons activated).
To get rid of this annoyance (with many tabs on the N panel, it can be difficult to read the titles of all these tabs), some users might want to place your add-on into the Edit or into the View tab... (or elsewhere).
According to the number of votes, there are many Blender users who are annoyed by this issue. The only workaround (for the moment) is to add an option in the addon preferences.
Could you please add an option in the add-on preferences to give the user the choice of the location of the tab (in the N panel) ? (in order to move the add-on from its own HDRI Sun Aligner tab to a custom one).
Maybe you could have a look at the source code of these (free) add-ons (to reuse the lines related to this feature)?
