"Beams" typically support floors, not specifically roofs. A 2"x12" may be a roof rafter, but not usually not a beam (unless it was a tiny house).
Trusses are generally, pound for pound, inch for inch, stronger than dimensional lumber.
Solar system are usually fairly light-weight and most any roof structure that meets recent building codes, can bear the weight of a solar system.
