Do you have any idea how large of a solar array it would take to run a home that requires central AC. Not enough room on the roof and the payback is infinite. You are in a different system as other are paying the load. Standing on it's own, photovoltaic doesn't generate enough power to pay the interest on the capital necessary to purchase the equipment.

I would be in favor of new homes or major home remodels be required to have 1 watt of solar per square foot.

Will not completely power the home but over time it would cut off the peak power curve that the utilities must accommodate with large power plants that only max out for a few hours.

Does it make sense to build a full on power plant that is only needed six hours a day? Because collectively we already have these.
