I have a bunch of containers, I put solar on a couple. I would weld tabs onto the container so as to avoid penetrations. The worst thing about containers is they leak, so holes in the top are a problem. In fact, I would weld on tabs, put galvanized stringers cross at an angle, put galvanized purloins along the length of the container, put galvanized corrugated sheeting on the purloins and the racking of your choice on top. That way the container roof won't rust and leak, you have your angle, and the container will be cooler.
