[RE-wrenches] PV on Mission Tile

[Ray Walters]

I 2nd that idea.  I'd just add that we have the tile extend a few inches 
under the array, and then the roofer doesn't have to come back.  It's 
also a great look, as the Array is just a couple of inches above the 
tile, so it appears to be almost flush mounted, and the tiles appear to 
be continuous, when in fact the array has a nice 6 to 8" air space under it.
