This is so true, I fully agree. It is really to bad that many PV
installers don't see it this way.
I like that I will have the opportunity to work on a new roof type, and I
am grateful that the Wrenches are avai

Stanchions are tried and true, solid, do not leak and do not allow

I appreciate the suggestion, it sounds like an ideal solution.
I do wonder why you prefer posts when you could use the tile hooks and

I've never used the hooks, although I'm interested in trying the ones from
Quickmount PV. The stand-offs just seem so rock solid. I'm not sure if the
hooks can handle the design wind uplift pressures we deal with in SW
Florida. I would have to present that to an engineer for review.
Either way you
