Pergola - Span

Yep, another question regarding spans...

Planning on building a pergola above my deck. Deck is only approx 500mm above ground. Pergola to cover approx 24sq/m. Two posts - 95x95 primed treated pine in stirrups approx 2.5m high. two spans (two sides connect to house). Spans approx 4.0m apart.

Will a 240x45 treated pine support? Or should i go hardwood?

Pergola roof will be fairly light, laserlight, rafters, etc. HOWEVER, the better half wants me to leave the opportunity open to put solar panels on. Panels will weigh about 130kg.
