Euonymus fortunei 'Silver Queen' immediately came into my head. That can be trained against a wall, is evergreen, can be pruned to shape and is lovely.

A clumping Bamboo such as Fargesia would give you evergreen and a screen and the soil sounds good for it.

Evergreen and the early morning sun could be a problem regarding leaf scortching but I would try the pineapple broom, cytisus battandieri, grey-green leaves and yellow pineapple-scented flowers. Can be grown as a free-standing shrub or trained as a fan against a fence. The soil can be improved with the addition of sharp sand or crushed grit.

Some Boxwood at the base and Honeysuckle to climb perhaps?
