Streets in Panorama City that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Solar arrays on Panorama City roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. That is as true in Panorama City as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
