As a longtime house builder, I doubt your "doubtful". Every time you penetrate a roof, you create the potential for a leak if the penetrations are not sealed properly. Basically, you are relying on caulk and or gaskets, which I am sure are pretty reliable but still not a whole intact roof covering. Also the top surface of an asphalt shingle is very rough and somewhat irregular, making it more difficult to get a proper seal. And a leak would not necessarily show up right away.

I said doubtful because OP stated they bought the house with the panels already on. I then assumed it was already inspected... And with solar panels on a roof, that would have also been inspected prior to purchase.
