any moss killer will turn it black then you have to rake it off. just rake it off alive and dispose of. same for walls really. moss is a sign that the area is damp/shady or both. solve that problem and then the moss wont take hold! its a problem we have with the garage but I like it and OH just has to put up with it.

Copper tape does work - its usually affixed just below the ridge tiles on apex roofs, so that when it rains, a small amount of copper is washed over the roof, which stops the moss growing. You could try a strip at the top of a wall, but it might not be that effective on a flat vertical surface.

I've heard that putting a length of copper tape along the top of the roof (if you can get there safely) is very effective.
