[RE-wrenches] Best practices for mounting on cedar shake roof?

[Aladdin Solar]

That seems like a great idea! And some sort of flashing on the low end where the metal roof ends and the shakes start...?

  We have integrated a standing seam roof under the array area with the shake as a trim and keeping with the "look", and used S-5 clips to attach the array rails to the metal roof.

  Is it possible to do a weather-tight install on a cedar (or other) shake roof in snow country with wide temperature and moisture ranges? We usually use QuickMount or SnapNRack flashed mounting points on composition roofs. I can't imagine a really reliable way to go through cedar shakes and keep moisture out of the penetration.
