Outfit = Clown? Nick, I would tell this client you can't touch this PV system without replacing the mounting system completely. I can't see how that meets any building code. There is no question in my mind that it will eventually leak. Wrong application, no flashing - this is a recipe for disaster. I hate it when people get taken like this by installers who have no idea what they are doing.
I can't say WHO made the roof hook (intended for tile, not shingle), but I have a pretty good idea WHERE it might have been made. :) It looks VERY cheap and poorly designed. Alibaba has a few similar items with hex drive screws. It looks awfully close to this: http://www.tripsolar.com/products_detail/productId=85.html You're probably looking at something that was imported as a complete kit, possibly with panels included. Are there any hints from the other equipment in the installation?
