Hi Howie Like clay tile there are a few things to consider
Damage to the shakes not under the modules during installation, walking all around etc. if they are old and brittle it’s going to be a huge problem as they will break quite easily. And like a clay tile roof, you might consider removing the shakes under the solar and installing a new substrate making the flashing easier, cheaper, faster. And probably I’d get the roofer involved to see what they recommend or require for warranty purposes.
