Otherwise, drilling a hole, putting an anchor bolt through, and sealing it with sealant and a washer could also work, but you're relying on sheet metal for all the load support. | |

Do that every few feet for the entire length and now you have plenty of wood you can screw light and other things into. | |

There are for example adhesives used for sinks on Granite Counter tops to hold the mounts - I would look into using those. You might be able to simply mount the bolts with adhesive to them run nuts on them to hold whatever you like. | |
