If we are building homes "solar first," as opposed to tacking them on existing homes, there is a lot of options to better integrate the panels into the design of the house. For example, part of my roof is not visible from the ground, that part of the house has cheaper roofing material that isn't aesthetically appealing whereas the part of the roof that is visible has nice shingles. You could easily add some solar panels to the non visible part and nobody would even notice. There's also the mere-exposure effect that will play out, people tend to develop a liking to things just because they are familiar with them.
