On one hand I agree, on another, I worry about the amount of waste that this creates. We are trading pollution from other centralized energy sources for millions of homes with N solar panels which will have to possibly be removed and replaced in 5-7 years. It’s the same as the waste that is created by purchasing appliances these days that basically are unrepairable and thrown away and replaced.

Given a 7 year life, you are effectively creating 4x the waste as a quality system. Multiply that by millions of homes and I don’t see how the trade off is worth it.
