Absolutely DUMB idea! Cost of rooftop is 4X utility scale solar and it produces 40% less energy vs single-axis tracking bifacial panels.
Does that mran free new roofs if they’re in poor shape, or cutting down trees to reduce shade? Hmmm…
It’s strictly a feel good welfare program to buy votes from poor communities for stupid politicians 🤑👹😱like the one in the White House…
