I asked before about rooftop solar because it seems so well suited to the US, especially the Southern US. Loads of large single family dwellings => each roof is owned by a single electricity bill payer, even if they're not owned outright because there's a mortgage, surely a lender can be prevailed upon to lend for Solar PV too?

Most of the EU has higher household electricity bills so rooftop solar makes faster economic sense. So that's probably part of it. A capital expenditure now which pays back in 5-10 years is quite different from one which pays back over 20 years.
