We're pros at S-tile and most tile roofs around here, but the vertical stringers on this roof present some challenges. If the attic wasn't foamed, I'd lean toward a tile hook with blocking where necessary.</div>

<div>I 2nd that idea. I'd just add that we
have the tile extend a few inches under the array, and then the
roofer doesn't have to come back. It's also a great look, as the
Array is just a couple of inches above the tile, so it appears to
be almost flush mounted, and the tiles appear to be continuous,
when in fact the array has a nice 6 to 8" air space under it.<br>

<div><span>Jason, what we've done many tines on these types of
roofs is had the homeowner work with a roofer of their
choice, or we would supply one, to remove the tile on the
area where the array will be. then they put down a hot mop
or suitable roofing material and we install the racking and
array over it. The roofer then comes back and installs the
tile up to the edge of the array. This provides them with a
very clean looking install that looks integrated into the
tile roof. If they don't want to do that we usually use
Prosolar tile track, or something similar, removing the
spots where the penetration is located, drilling the tile
for the riser and replacing it over the top of the riser.
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;display:inline"></div>Prosolar has a nice demo of this procedure on their website.</span></div>
