Hi Bill,

What about installing unistrut to the roof on those attachment points, then installing the racking to the unistrut?

Pretty clean installation however for some reason he ran 1X6 stringers across the roof  on the 1/2" plywood deck spaced about every 4 feet (as you go from ridge to eaves).  Of course the roofing screws are at the stringers.  I'm sure he had a great reason for doing so.  So now I have been asked to install an array on this roof.  You can feel how "soft" the roof is as you walk on it of course because you are walking on air-below-metal for most of the roof.  Stringer locations don't jive with possible feet/post locations for rail.  I'm usually pretty good at problem solving but I'm accepting       ideas.
