Let's take my use case into account. Home built in 1974. Currently needs about 40-50k in "greenifying" it. I just put a metal roof and radiant barrier on it. Total spend on this was 70k. My inefficient home in the Houston area costs between 200(winter) and 600(august) to heat/air condition. It's not a mansion but large enough for my family (7) to live in. If the option for a solar city roof existed when I did this I would have jumped at the chance to use their panels. Even if it only subsidized my electric bill I would feel like that is a win. Its easy to get caught up with numbers/profits when it comes to electric tech But I think that people aren't as unforgiving with traditional building materials as they are with new/green tech. I'm not a Tesla apologist but having an option for electric roofing is a win in my humble opinion.
