Not the only way to do it.

Most firms use fixings which are accommodated by simply sliding a
few tiles up out of the way, screwing the brackets to the roof

Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh.

Slates don't just slide out of the way. And niether do most tiles.
Some interlocking tiles might silde up.
The sort of thing you'fe talking about works for a single small panel.
But if you're going to cover the roof in panels than somthing far more
substantial is needed.
