>It's the worst in places that are the most religiously strident places like California. In general, you'd need land for solar panels equivalent to your entire neighborhood to merely duplicate and provide your current energy use just from your own home. And that doesn't even cover EVs being charged!
Math please. A 100 square foot solar panel would generate around 150 kWh per month given around 5 hours of sunlight a day. The average household uses under 1000 kWh per month. So you'd need around 700 sqft of solar panels to cover that which fits on the roof of a single story house easily.
edit: And plenty of people sell electricity back to the grid on average while having rooftop solar panels.
