[RE-wrenches] Slate roof attachment?

[Will White]

We recently did a slate roof.  We used the Unirac standoff posts and Oatey flashings.  We had the roofer who installed the slate put the posts in.  He also left his staging up for us to work on.  This is the only slate roof we’ve ever done because the cost of the roofer usually makes the job too expensive.

I wouldn’t install the mounts in house because slate is so difficult to work with.  You also can’t walk on it or it cracks.

Good Luck,
Will

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?
