Absolutely! Added benefit- solar panels can actually maximize the cooling benefits of a metal roof. Metal roofs reflect more sunlight than traditional black asphalt shingles, and some also have reflective paint to increase this effect. Installing PV solar panels can take your electric bill savings a step further simply by shading the roof’s surface.

Agree with Shoshana. The sheet metal may have some conductivity issues, so be sure everything is properly grounded to earth, but absolutely, you can.

Thanks to everyone, especially about the lien as most people don't think of these things. I wish there were more trust worthy people in this world.
