Yes! Absolutely. I've spoken with my roofer specifically about this. Then the metal roof is the only thing holding on the solar, better make sure the roofing is on right!

Garage Progress, Jan 3 2016
Lately, we got the ends of the upstairs studded in and sheathed, cut out the window holes, put up the fascia, foamed the exterior with 1/2" urethane foam (with seams staggered from the sheathing, and the seams of the foam taped), installed the windows, and installed skylights.
That's right, SKYLIGHTS. In a garage. Ok, well, really it's in the upstairs which is going to be my home office or writing studio or whatever it is that I actually end up using it for. The skylights let in lots of natural light and I've always loved skylights wherever I've had them.
