Wow! that looks like quite the roof to do an install on! Cement tile? how are they going to connect through the tiles?

There are various methods, the least appealing (to me) is to just drill right through the tile. I used under tile hooks. Google QMFTH hooks. They come complete with flashing. The underside of the tile is ground out a little to clear the mount then replaced. Probably about as water safe as you're going to get. I hope6k LG 300, 16S, 2E, 2W, Solaredge P400s and SE5000Comment

End of day 1.
The job was supposed to be completed in 1 day.... didn't happen. Said people called in sick.... who knows. The crew (3) that were here worked constantly & appeared knowledgeable. Here's the results so far.... (the rails aren't mounted, just sitting on the roof)

Also have to give props to my Casio EX-ZR400 camera.... all of those pix were taken from across the street!
Hopefully more tomorrow....6k LG 300, 16S, 2E, 2W, Solaredge P400s and SE5000Comment

Thanks to all for steering me through the maze!
I ended up with...
6.05 kw - 22 Solarworld 275 mono black panels
22 Solaredge P300 optimizers
Solaredge 6k inverter
$3.55/w = $21,478 before credit
$2.48/w = $15,034 after credit
The company is well established, with an actual showroom with panels on display, mounting systems, etc. 44 all positive reviews on Yelp, "A" rating from BBB.
I feel a lot more comfortable than with some of the other places I've been dealing with.
Thanks again!
Now the waiting...
Thanks

So, last installment I guess. Still awaiting final approval but I did "peek". 4.5kw@12:00, still 1.8@5:00. I'll post the monitoring site address once it's set up.
A few more pix from the install...

I want to express my sincere thanks to all that put up with me & answered the same questions others have asked 1000 times before. What you all do here is a huge service to the solar community, you don't get told that enough.
