Pool Solar Heating on Skip Sheathing

[changeyez]

I live in Northern California and my home's roof is in fine shape (cement tiles) on skip sheathing. I would love to install solar heating for my pool but I'm not sure I can do it on skip sheating.
Has anyone here installed solar heating for their pool on a roof with skip sheathing?

Thanks!

I'm going to see if @mas985 can assist you on this one. He's somewhat familiar with solar, and as an added bonus, he's from CA. Ha ha.

Thank you @1poolman1 . Do you have personal experience using this system?

Solar panels even filled with water are not that heavy in terms of lbs/sqft so it shouldn't be an issue. I had my solar panels on my tile roof for many years.

No, sorry. Gave up installing solar many years ago, and definitely too big to walk on tile, though I used to install tile roofs (much, much younger).
Have seen solar installers use metal plumber's tape with a hook shape placed under a tile, grabbing the skip sheathing and then wrapped around a header to hold solar down. The panels that are individual tubes don't usually need strapping.
