Which is exactly why mandating a specific solution like rooftop solar doesn't make sense. Your counterargument actually somewhat supports the original argument :)
- Dylan16807 8y agoDo you want those houses to have some half-efficient solar, or do you want them to be unable to be built at all? Forcing solar on a house like that is suboptimal, forcing a certain generation metric is even worse.
