<div>I've never used the hooks, although I'm interested in trying the ones from Quickmount PV. The stand-offs just seem so rock solid. I'm not sure if the hooks can handle the design wind uplift pressures we deal with in SW Florida. I would have to present that to an engineer for review.</div>

Agreed. AKA Stand-offs. Unirac makes two-piece standoffs in 4-7". Two lags per base make a highly secure connection to the truss.<div><br></div><div>NRCA Flashing detail</div><div><a href="http://www.nrca.net/consumer/types/details/tile-7.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.nrca.net/consumer/types/details/tile-7.pdf</a><span><font color="#888888">

None of the below. Use stanchions, also known as power posts. Flash them properly, just like a roof vent, only they will be perpindicular to the roof surface, not vertical.<br>
