In very humid and hot marine environment (think tropical Mexico) you "might" have corrosion problems on panel connector box after some years, then you'll need a new panel.
Flexible panel like Unisolar is an easier option if you're not comfortable with brackets and drilling. You can glue it to the roof. But they are long, about 10ft. Check Amazon for Unisolar.
