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

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?

I'd not disturb the roof in any way. If it leaks at a later date for
whatever reason you'll get the blame. Just glue it in place.


Thanks for the replies all. Yes it probably is a crappy charger but he
already has bought it but cant work out how to fix it. I will get out
there and probably find he has a window in the garage and he can just
sit it on the window sill :-) He has a 1st class honours degree in
mathematical physics but can hardly use a flippin screwdriver.
