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.

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. Prosolar has
a nice demo of this procedure on their website.

*Subject:* [RE-wrenches] PV on Mission Tile
Anyone have any best practices or product recommendations for
installing PV on mission tile with vertical 2x4 stringers?
Specifically, I'm looking at a Ludowici mission clay tile.
