We live on salt water, very exposed to wind. We need to replace our concrete tile roof and want to consider metal roofing, but we also have solar panels on 2 sides used to heat our pool. Can they be reinstalled on a metal roof? I am concerned about whether the roof can hold the weight of the panels, but I also wonder whether the panels will lay flat enough so that they stay down in a windstorm. Any help will be appreciated.

This is done all the time. However, I would suggest choosing your roofing product and then contacting the manufacturer for details on how exactly to do this.
