Everyone can take advantage of rooftop solar. The power goes into the grid. This isn’t a zero sum game. We need both. | ||

It's not zero sum but different physical layouts of energy generation do have different captial and operating costs. Rooftop solar power goes into the grid but maybe not at the most ideal time and scale for the grid operators, which justifiably affects what price they're willing to pay for that power, which justifiably affects the ROI for homeowners with rooftop solar panels. | ||
