Thanks HDM, very informative.

I'm sure this must have been covered numerous times on the forum but my searching mojo isn't working, as it turned up nothing related with 'Plain tile' or 'Rosemary' I can find lots of videos showing fitting brackets to a plain clay tile roof (the tiles are often called 'Rosemary' in the UK)...

Thanks Tim, that makes sense though I'm surprised they seem to be so common for such a rare eventuality.

I'm trying to think when that versatility might be needed. Any ideas please? I'm asking just in case they would be useful for me?

Some Hooks (Brackets) have just two screw holes for attaching to rafters and some have a much wider base and can be offset. Why would you want to offset the bracket positions? (I am having to put the rails up the roof (vertical rather than the more common horizontal)

In case it helps anyone else here is a photo of a feather edged close boarded roof (Quite common on 1920's/1930's roofs I'm told by a roofer)

I've found brackets should work when used with support beams going up the roof with Landscape mounted Panels: https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/buy/fastensol-pitched-roof-mounting/hook-rosemary-landscape

Suggestions for Panel Brackets on a Feather edged close boarded roof please. My West Sussex house (UK) has a 'closely boarded' roof using 'Feather Edge' boards I'm hoping to put 7 Panels on the sloping roof and another 6 on our flat roof. Hopefully my photo explains what 'closely boarded' roof...
