the tile hook looks very much like Schüco's product. . But the rail is not jumping to mind..

What brand are the modules? Are they even UL listed? Once they ran that by the inspector and he wasn't happy, that may have been the point when the Circus packed up its tent and left town.

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?

I need to provide a spec sheet on the racking (rail more so than stand-off) for permitting. I believe it was installed roughly 5 years ago. See picture below.
