Other than a small solar system for battery maintenance solar is likely a wash or negative on the secondary market

Electric generation is only economically feasible in large scale production if you're looking at the cost per mw

Everyone running a generator for several days powering AC knows the cost

Off grid and boondocking for long term situations seems to be the only times it would pay to install a large array

In over 60 years of camping battery charging has been the only solar power I have ever needed or used

Hopefully both battery and solar panels will evolve to the point you can generate significant energy without covering your roof and spending thousands for a good system

Green power is currently extremely costly and has a huge carbon footprint, that needs to change with new technologies to keep the taxpayer from having to subsidize it

Not against anything if it cash flows or is truly better for the environment
