Seeking adjustable hook system for concrete / clay spanish tiles

Hello,
I was told by a business associate that he had seen hook systems for mounting solar PV on clay tiles in which the hook could be adjusted vertically (relative to the roof surface) and also adjusted lengthwise (along the axis of the hook that protrudes out from under the tile). He was seriously injured last weekend and is in ICU recovering so I do not want to bother him. I was wondering if anyone had seen such an adjustable hook system. If not I'll look for it at SPI next week.
Thanks,

    There is this German company:

    They used to sell in the US, but have shut down that arm of the company.

    I've tried all the tile mounting systems. I like Tile-Trac by ProSolar. Have to drill a hole (small one) in the tile, but that is better than grinding a relief out of the tile dripedge like with brackets. Or - make your own tile track device using half-high strut channel. Hope you do not have the "spanish" type clay tile as you can hardly touch it let alone walk on it.
