Need help with small solar panel array mounting.

[Cardude]

Want to install a solar/hybrid mini split and want to put the panels on the flat roof of this balcony cover. What kind of mounts would y’all recommend? I need to install 4 panels for the unit, and I would like them to tilt up facing the right of the picture (south) if possible.

This balcony roof is about 28’ wide and 7’ deep.

That metal roof and supports doesn’t look like it’s rated to support anything but rain.

Yeah it’s not too beefy, but I was up there a few years ago and installed that tin roof so it seems strong enough for 4 panels and mounts, maybe 200 lbs in all?

Are you near a location that gets weather? Like possible heavy storms that includes wind?

Yes. We are about 40 miles from the coast. This tin roof actually made it through Hurricane Harvey a few years ago. I was kind of shocked. ?
