During Iraq/Afg conflict, US army started investing in solar systems because they realized every fuel (alot used for generators) convoy that doesn't have to make runs to outposts means less exposure to attacks by enemy. Solar systems can help lower fuel consumption for generators.
I heard fairly high percentage of US veterans back at home are more interested in solar systems because they saw the high cost of moving fuel around.
Ironic. We supposedly went there to secure our energy source and we learned solar system is a viable solution...
