Residential solar in Miami
Miami-Dade's building code requirements, developed after decades of hurricane experience, generally call for stricter wind and impact-resistance standards than many other parts of the country, and that standard applies to solar mounting hardware and equipment attachment as well. Housing stock ranges from dense urban condos to single-family homes across the county's many municipalities, and each brings different electrical and structural considerations. High year-round cooling demand and dense housing patterns both factor into system planning.
