What mechanism of paying for roads would you propose?
Light vehicles don't do a lot of damage to roads, but in many areas weathering takes quite a toll, so it can make sense to charge all users rather than push it all on shippers or whatever.
Also, do you have an example of governments taxing solar? The trend I'm more aware of is net metering, which is a great deal for the homeowner (the wholesale value of electricity is lower than household metering, on an open market the power company would not purchase power for the retail rate).
