Roofing and solar in Bradenton

Bradenton is generally Florida Power & Light.

The roofs

Tile is the local language in a lot of Manatee, with shingle still common in older ranches and some replacements. The tile can be fine while the underlayment is done. That is the conversation: a tile roof is not a forever roof, because the layer under it is not forever. Gulf humidity and wind off the river and bay are the design conditions.

The solar

FPL’s netting rules are the ones to model, and they are not identical to TECO’s a county north. Tile attachments are a different detail than shingle attachments. The anchor has to match the system and the deck, not a generic lag bolt from a video.
