Solar arrays on Santa Fe Springs roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. This holds across Los Angeles County. Housing stock in Santa Fe Springs runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling as a rule tells you when the building went up.
