roof trusses and lightweight tiles?

can solar panels be fitted on such a construction , i have a lovely southerly elevation , perfect .

Uhh….Solar panels can be mounted on pretty much anything solid in structure. Usually when mounted to a roof, as long as the material covering the roof (shingles, tiles, tar, whatever) won’t be compromised, mounting to a roof entails attaching to the roof’s structure, or trusses so they don’t fly away.
Maybe you can expand on your roof’s composite material? Are you saying that you have ‘lightweight’ tiles? What are those? Are you talking about spanish tiles? I don’t think spanish tiles are easy to drill through and not highly recommended for solar panels. You could ground-mount them though!
I would find someone in your area that supplies and installs them, they should give you a free estimate and tell you if you can mount them on your roof.
