Securing conduit on tile roofs?

What's the standard practice for securing conduit on flat tiles? They should be raised up off the surface from what I've read, so a simple U clamp wouldn't be good. What have you guys seen out there?

    How about cutting a short piece of unistrut maybe 3-4 inches or whatever fits on one tile then running your conduit on top of the strut.

    Hmm, looks like they actually have conduit clamps specifically for unistruts. So how does the unistrut attach to the tile?

    Tile hooks might be good for this. Especially the ones like I used for my racking, with the horizontal rail attach point.
