Default how to attach to roof tiles

Yes i was just wondering about such a puny panel. That sounds like the sort
of cheap rubbish they used to sell with those plant turners for window
sills.

I have been asked to attach a small solar charger panel for trickle
charger (maybe 6 inch square) thingy to a garage roof which has concrete
type (not slate) roof tiles.
I wont see the job until Saturday so cant be 100% sure about anything.
Whats the best way to attach it, I first thought silicone but I doubt
that would adhere to the tiles, Then I am thinking just slip the bracket
(presumably it has one) under a tile.

Any other thoughts? Could I drill into the tiles and use a small screw?


A high tack PU glue will do it, but for the size of toy PV panel you are
talking about it probably isn't even worth the effort of trying.

A 3'x1' PV panel at least stands a chance of being worthwhile.
