Hanging over is not harmful in itself but you would have to be very careful backing. If you accidently back into something (even slowly), it could do a lot of damage to your roof.

Before you decide on a panel, get the weight from the website. Put that much weight on the roof, then open the roof to see if that weight works for you.

If the weight is too much, you may be able to adjust the torsion bars. You may want to do that with the weight on the roof before you order panels. There may not be any adjustment left.
