Hi Folks! We don't get many jobs installing solar on concrete tile roofs....there aren't many around here. In Oregon we are allowed to do an engineer-less installation on metal and comp roofs when the array is flush mounted to the roof. Concrete tile roofs don't fit into this scenario. My engineer quoted me $650 for a report authorizing the installation. Seems like this is way too expensive for a modest 5kW system. What are others doing for concrete tile roof installs. Engineering required? We usually use SnapNRack as our racking system. (will probably use QuickMount Tile Replacement Flashings for this project) Other Oregon installers - any advice on this hurdle? Not worried about the technical installation just the cost and formality of getting an engineers stamp for permits. Thanks in advance!
