I tend to agree. Rooftop solar is a collective disaster and doesn't make sense as anything greater than a niche solution.
Commercial solar already struggles from seasonal variation requiring you to over build by 5X to get reliable power. Residential
PRooftop takes it up a notch by costing 10x more than commercial.
California Power policy is so backwards it makes my head spin.
I can't believe they made rooftop solar a requirement for new houses when daytime spot prices are often negative. It's common for new houses to come with solar leases with negative savings. This is the type of thing the government should be preventing, not mandating
