[RE-wrenches] Conduit supports on sloped composite shingle roofs

[Benn Kilburn]

How high are you wanting to get the conduit (EMT?) off the roof?
I have been using Kinetic flashings and rails for mounting PV these days. Great stuff. 
There is a base that mounts directly onto the shingle and then a flashing goes over it. The base that goes under the flashing has two holes for lags bolts or in your case a couple bolts you can attach to be roof sheeting and then it has a stud for mounting the L-foot (or whatever you want to attach to the stud. 
You could use a standard 3" L-foot and either use the provided oblong hole or drill your own. If you want to get more height then they also have 4" and 5" L-feet.

We don't do a lot of shingle, mostly metal and concrete, so we are less that familiar with the options. We used SnapNRack flashed mounts for the rail system, but they need a rafter under them and the conduit run will not be above rafters.
