[RE-wrenches] Slate roof attachment?

Completely agree, slate brakes if you look at it wrong and that being said who is responsible to remove the modules to replace the tiles for the next  how many years Jerry

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 Luminalt From: RE-wrenches [mailto:re-wrenches-bounces at lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Lars Ortegren

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?
