Another reason why I never put solar panels on a dwelling roof.
However, it seems crazy to be drilling holes to find the rafter still in
2023. $.02

Can echo this, I did a fresh look into this last year and still have
not found anything better than a hammer and feeler tool.
We are considering going to a deck direct attachment like rooftech as
well, which makes rafter locations less critical. We intend to still
have crews find the rafter and place the attachments on the rafter as
best they can without drilling holes. As the attachments still prefer
to be located on a rafter to maximize snow load bearing capacity. Nice
thing about the Rooftech is that if you miss the rafter location with
the center holes, it's entirely likely you will hit it with the side
screws. In either case you are still sitting above the rafter and can
expect to bear significant weight there instead of relying on the
OSB/Plywood decking.
