Much of the metro is slab-on-grade construction from the 1970s onward, with attic-mounted equipment common. Solar exposure is strong, though summer humidity and storm-season cloud cover trim peak production compared with the desert Southwest. Permitting is generally straightforward, but flood-zone elevation rules apply in large parts of the metro.
