What we see on Cary roofs
Cary is the easiest engineering and the most paperwork. Homes built since the 1990s have plywood or OSB decking, 24 inch rafter spacing, known truss designs and roofs steep enough to shed debris. Arrays go on cleanly and quickly.
What takes the time is architectural review. Most Cary subdivisions have an HOA with a written solar policy, and North Carolina law limits what they can prohibit while still permitting rules on placement. We prepare the submission with elevation drawings and a visibility statement so the committee has what it needs at the first meeting.

Cary questions
North Carolina law restricts outright prohibition of solar collectors, but associations can still regulate placement in some circumstances. In practice a complete submission with elevations resolves the great majority of Cary applications.
Less mature tree canopy than inside Raleigh's beltline and steeper, more consistently oriented roofs. Modelled yield runs a little above our Wake County average as a result.
