No the northeast. (massachusetts). Brick building. Flat roof that gets good sun.

That additional 20°s of latitude makes a big impact on the amount of sun you'll see, regardless of how suitable the site is.

For us its that the common part of the building doesn't use a lot of power. Individual units do use more than we can generate. So we have to plug the solar into individual units, which can be problematic and kind of a pain.
