I've seen a guy using a hoe attached to a broom handle, got him right up the roof and didn't look as if it was damaging the surface of the tiles.
I've got a Wolf Garten 4m pole and was thinking of buying an "attachment" to fit onto the end but not sure which one would be the most effective. They don't seem to make a "Roof moss scraper" :-) so not sure if a broom head would suffice or maybe a lawn rake?

Bit dodgy on a roof :-)

They do a hooked/curved shape scoop for dragging snow off the roof but not sure if that would work.
Use a hoe! I said it in post number 2....
If you need me to post a pic of the hoe attachment I could?
It's blunt enough not to damage the tiles, and worked perfectly when I saw it used.

1. Sensible (ish) ..as per previous posts use a hoe and a small headed brush from a secure ladder and pull it towards you.
2. Brave (or stupid) .... On to the roof and using a stiff broom, blower, and a moss rake attack it from above.
Seen both methods used, option 2 was a young man who obviously had no fear (and/or brain) but personally I'd advise a call to a local roofing contractor and let him have the problem.
Remember a fall from ladders or roofs will not kill or hurt you but the landing certainly might!
