I am looking to install 6 panels, each weighing about 28.8kg.
The managing agency says i am required to have a OHS certificate stating that the roof will be able to handle the extra weight.
The complex was build in 1987, or there about.

I have had some reinforcements done but according to the inspector, it isnt enough.
But considering I just recently had about 30 or so tiles be replaced on the roof and nobody fell through, how can the roof not be structurally secure?

To do what the inspector requires would cost between R15,000 and R20,000.
I didnt do this at my previous house, free standing, that was build in 1996. And never had the roof moered in on me in the 7 years i lived there.

The panels will be mounted flat on the tiles, so no added structure.

Rails will be stronger and have the benefit of allowing air to move freely under the panels. Maybe the inspector will be happy?

The issue isn't the rail or not using one. It's the actual support for the roof.

If you're in a sectional title complex then they'll have rules and they'll want somebody suitably qualified to do the checks. You're adding 170 odd kilos plus mountings, plus cabling (won't weigh a lot, will weigh something) and the inspector has to use his best judgement.

Ask them if they'll accept the findings of an inspector with the right credentials that you appoint and pay for. If they agree then hope for the best.
