I don't know what solar panels cost but as far as the roof holding them there are plenty of pools heated with roof panels that I would assume are pretty heavy.
My home in Polo Ridge is heated with gas. Assuming you were talking about the newer homes? Solar panels a bad investment in my opinion with energy prices as low as they are here. The payback on that type of investment would probably take decades.
