One thing I have done with solar hot water racks to spread out the weight per connection point to the roof and to give the upper and lower connections a stable point to connect to instead of just the roofis to do a uni-strut type frame that is parallel with the roof and then attach the actual tilt rack to this parallel frame on the roof. It uses a bit more framing, but it also makes it super stable for Snow and snow retention or keeping snow from pushing up behind the panels I have used both steel unit strut, and the aluminum unit strut that Sun Earth sells Dana Orzel C: 208.721.7003 E- d...@solarwork.com

Unirac used to, and we have a 40 degree tilt Unirac system on our roof that works fine. Unirac told me that the L-foot and rail attachments to the tilt legs are different now, and they can't go over 30 degrees.
