FYI, I am a big fan of metal roofs and have been considering one for our Villages home. I called the ARC and inquired about being allowed to install one under the deed restrictions in CDD1. I was told approval is on a case by case basis and that specifying the roofs cosmetic style (color, faux shingle versus seamed) in the application would help in the approval process. I then called T&D (our turn key swimming pool installer) about removing our pools solar heating system and reinstalling it on a new metal roof. They said they do NOT install solar on metal roofs. I don’t think it is because solar can’t be put on metal, but rather because metal roofs are so rare in the Villages they aren’t trained for that application and don’t have the critical mass to make it worth the effort to learn.
