Depends on lots of factors.
How many panels, what direction they face, how much sunshine you get.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Your link does not work, but even so, your link (i figured where it goes) is of no use since in the UK 99.7% of houses do not have a metal roof.
