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

[Glenn Burt]

We have done something similar when slate roofs are involved - replace the
slate directly under the array with comp shingles.

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.
