Completely agree, slate brakes if you look at it wrong and that being said who
is responsible to remove the modules to replace the tiles for the next how
many years Jerry

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Slate roof attachment?
Hi Lars, Slate is a tough one. We’ve always hired a roofer to work with us on
slate roofs – they can setup toe boards (if it is steep) and work with our
installers as we mount stanchions. We’ve used standard cylindrical posts such
as Unirac standoffs or Pro Solar Fast Jacks and then they flash them with
copper flashings. They can also replace slates as they break.
I would never attempt to work on a slate roof without a roofer involved – it is
simply too fragile. Best, August Luminalt From: RE-wrenches

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Slate roof attachment? Wrenches,Anyone out there attach
to slate roofs? we've had one, that ended with us re-roofing the portion of the
roof under the array, but I'm wondering if there is a great product out there
that others have used? Thus far, the only attachment I can find is the PV
Quickmount shake flashing that even mentions slate. Ideas?
