Rooftop solar

Hi All, I'm getting ready to add an additional solar panel to my already existing factory installed solar system (same panel and manufacturer). I have a walk on roof that has a thin skin over it. My question...can I "assume" that since its walk on that under that skin the roof is covered in plywood?
Thanks!

    Appears to be a plywood roof.
  • Wiring and controller rated to handle the additional panel? Additional panel bring your system to or beyond 1 solar watt for each battery AH?

    According to Go Power I am good to go for adding the panel to existing configuration.

    No idea what the AH is of my batteries they are new costco interstate group 27 DC 12v batteries, I have 2.
