[RE-wrenches] Slate roof attachment?

[August Goers]

Hi Lars,



Slate is a tough one. We’ve always hired a roofer to work with us on slate
roofs – they can setup toe boards (if it is steep) and work with our
installers as we mount stanchions. We’ve used standard cylindrical posts
such as Unirac standoffs or Pro Solar Fast Jacks and then they flash them
with copper flashings. They can also replace slates as they break.

I would never attempt to work on a slate roof without a roofer involved –
it is simply too fragile.



Best,



August

Wrenches,

Anyone out there attach to slate roofs? we've had one, that ended with us
re-roofing the portion of the roof under the array, but I'm wondering if
there is a great product out there that others have used? Thus far, the
only attachment I can find is the PV Quickmount shake flashing that even
mentions slate.  Ideas?
