Certainly not in California where the transmission cost savings from rooftop solar are less than 1% per kWh vs the 200% increase in costs vs utility scale solar

  That underlies my thought on roof top solar. Big picture we can build out twice as much utility scale solar for the same expenditure of resources. If homeowners are going to spend $$ on something replacing gas furnaces with heat pumps would be better.

  Your article says that production is 7 to 9 cents and that distribution is 10 to 20 cents. The problem is that rooftop solar is not lowering those distribution costs in any substantial fashion.
