Max:
We had a client who, on a barrel tile roof, insisted on removing tiles
from under the array but wanted to keep tiles below the array. There was
no good way to divert water from under the lower tiles. The roofer first
tried using some roll roof that cracked and then used lead flashing. There
was still a mosquito pond where the water pooled. Also, the "built in"
look creates cooling flow restrictions. We eventually gave up on the built
in look.

Daryl, the best way to deal with it is to take the tiles off under the
array. This will give the system a lower profile and a "built in" look.
The other choice is to drill through the tile to get into the rafters.
I've put a system in the Cayman Islands and you want to make sure you do
it according to spec and then some when you have the potential for
hurricane class winds.....
