I don't have solar panels on my house, and have no intent to get them. I'll be happy if modest sized PV arrays pop up on unused land in my area and if I can tap that energy from the grid. The cost/W of such installations will be much below what I could get for my roof. If we get dynamic pricing, I very well may get home batteries though, especially if these could double as backup in case of grid outage.

The cost/W of such installations will be much below what I could get for my roof. Not sure what state you're in, but community solar is very popular in several states, and if it is not in your state, I would encourage you to advocate for it. It is a reasonable alternative for those who do not want to install rooftop solar (or cannot, for whatever reason). https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/community-solar-basics https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/community-solar-basics https://www.seia.org/initiatives/community-solar https://www.seia.org/initiatives/community-solar https://www.nrel.gov/state-local-tribal/community-solar.html https://www.nrel.gov/state-local-tribal/community-solar.html
