[QUOTE="DDHRocks, post: 328642, member: 3489"] The primary problem with rooftop EV is that it's more cost for developers up front and developers are the cheapest people around. :-) Most buyers don't want the decision on rooftop solar taken out of their hands. Add around $30k (May be less now that was probably 5 years ago) to the price of a house, even if it saves you money in 10 years. The developer doesn't see that savings. Part of the issue for large solar is that you need a lot of acres. Land is valuable. So developers try to find the cheapest land possible. The cheapest land is the farthest away from cities. That's why offshore wind is so tempting, no-one is charging for some ocean space. [/QUOTE]
