I think jcampbell1's point is why bother putting the pannels on top of your own roof? Instead, buy your pannels on some other shared property that is already connected to the grid, and share the overhead costs. The same power would be sold back to the grid and offset your own home's power. I call this the co-op model, and I think it's also appealing for areas where not everyone is a home-owner.
