I would suggest a led  tile roof pipe Jack to go over those stand offs To be installed by the original roofer.

This happens to be right at the top of the ladder access to the attic! You can't miss it! Ultimately this never passed final inspections (except structural because the contractor perjured himself on an inspection affidavit). The whole system is going to have to be removed, roof repaired, and system reinstalled properly.

No matter... the fusible disconnect was wired wrong and was missing a grounding bushing. No surprise there. It all needs redoing.

I ran across one this weekend that should definitely not own a ladder or even a screwdriver. I'm compelled to turn him into the state, but I don't really want to be "that guy." I'm encouraging the homeowner to do something about it, but the process is rather difficult.
