Roofing and solar in Lakeland
City of Lakeland addresses are often Lakeland Electric, a municipal utility. The suburbs may not be.
The roofs
Lakeland’s in-town houses include older shingle and tile near the historic districts, and a wide ring of suburban reroofs. Afternoon storms stack up over Polk. The failure we see most is not a missing shingle; it is underlayment age plus a penetration — a vent, a solar prep, a satellite — that was never reflashed.
The solar
Lakeland Electric is not Tampa Electric, even though people drive between the two cities every day. The rate and the export credit change the payback. Say so in the model or the model is fiction.
