Default how to attach to roof tiles

ss wrote:
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 solar panel that small is pretty much useless - it would charge one 600mah
AA battery on a very sunny day, and on a cloudy day it wouldn't even do
that.
Those garden solar lights have a 2 X 2 inch panel and one rechargeable
600mah AA battery and usully one small LED bulb and they don't even stay lit
all night
