According to upcoming rules (and common sense), inspectors should have proper training, equipment, and a plan before climbing on a roof. There's also the risk of damaging materials due to the somewhat invasive nature of a roof inspection.
Using a drone to get a closer look would work nicely, but drones are only allowed in remote areas such as farms or farmettes without serious training, regulatory oversight and liability insurance, making it impractical for most.
Another option is using a spotting scope and camera mount. The only limitation is you're not there to aggressively probe. But that may not be a bad thing anyway.

Here's a link to a DIY camera mount for those interested:
