Unirac's tile hook tables require anything over 140mph to have effective spans of 24 inches when trusses are 24 inch on center (32 inch for 16 inch OC). That's way too many attachment points to make economic sense for us here. I haven't seen any other hooks with longer spans. Since most of our work is 160mph+, it's not an option. And Unirac's span tables only go to 170mph, which eliminates much of SW Florida and pretty much all of Florida's southeast coast. I'm not sure about snow and seismic, but I imagine there are similar issues.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Jason Szumlanski</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Florida Solar Design Group</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/3107774613490049e8830d9eb917d192cfab86ed?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffloridasolardesigngroup.com&userId=1613865&signature=9283aa9654e3a71e">https://floridasolardesigngroup.com</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 22, 2017 at 4:57 PM, Lorenzo Ortiz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lorenzo@cal-solar.com" target="_blank">lorenzo@cal-solar.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">We do flat tile roofs all day out here in CA.

<br>
I\u2019ve never worked with flat concrete roof tiles before. And have an install that does have them.<br>
Something like a Striata type.<br>
<br>
Wondering what recommendations folks have for how to mount with them. Its not a large system currently only 6-9 x 280 60 cell modules.<br>
Probably doesn\u2019t make sense to remove/reroof in that area. And the roof can handle the weight without removing the tiles.<br>
<br>
thanks in advance,<br>
