We have done something similar when slate roofs are involved - replace the slate directly under the array with comp shingles.

That seems like a great idea! And some sort of flashing on the low end where the metal roof ends and the shakes start...? --Charlie ----- Original Message ----- From: Dana <mailto:d...@solarwork.com> To: 'Aladdin <mailto:cpick...@aladdinsolar.com> Solar' ; 'RE-wrenches' <mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 12:14 PM Subject: RE: [RE-wrenches] Best practices for mounting on cedar shake roof? We have integrated a standing seam roof under the array area with the shake as a trim and keeping with the "look", and used S-5 clips to attach the array rails to the metal roof.

Is it possible to do a weather-tight install on a cedar (or other) shake roof in snow country with wide temperature and moisture ranges? We usually use QuickMount or SnapNRack flashed mounting points on composition roofs. I can't imagine a really reliable way to go through cedar shakes and keep moisture out of the penetration. --Charlie No virus found in this incoming message.
