What Solar Savings Look Like in Southern View
The housing stock, characterized by older, single-family homes with a high rate of ownership, provides a stable foundation for residential solar adoption. The community's rural/small town nature often translates to less complex permitting for home improvements compared to denser urban areas. A modest portion of the workforce operates from home.
