Best method for getting DC cables into loft?

[mark da spark]

Hi,
Just wondering what is the best method for taking the DC cables from each string/strings in through the tiles, slate roof etc. to the loft.

Thanks, Mark

Depends on the tiles, with pantiles it's fairly easy to replace one or more with a vent tile underneath the array and run cable through this, suitably protected by flexible conduit. Alternatively making some lead flashing is the best bet to ensure weatherproofing.
