rooftop

The information is from eia.gov which does not collect/include rooftop solar in its data.

Worse, there doing rooftop solar which is far worse than grid connected solar which is worse than wind.

Solar City is one of several companies doing a leasing program for rooftop solar, that's hardly innovation.

It'll give you some insight into the legal landscape for rooftop solar in FL (and a few other states).

But Hawaii’s grid is already running into problems with its heavy helping of rooftop solar and other carbon-free renewables.

It remains to be seen if distributed rooftop generation will be a viable long term strategy.

Is it practical to build a cheap rooftop wind-power harvester that plugs into the inverter?

A good analog for this is rooftop solar, another form of distributed generation.

Re: 2-Again, depending on how you look at it, solar helps with this, at least for homeowner rooftop production.

As for safety, the 5x number was for plant solar, not rooftop.

There's a few good reasons for residential rooftop solar, particularly in areas where the peak usage and sun coincide (where aircon is used for example).

I don't subscribe to the idea that a rooftop system should be limited to 800W.

Does this properly account for rooftop solar as it's not a "plant" but tends to show up as a demand reduction?

It'd be nice to be able to add a muffle to the rain noise - so it sounded like it was "outside" or on a rooftop.

Rooftop solar (more generally, "distributed generation") is growing rapidly and is expected to be a much larger electricity source than utility scale photovoltaic plants fairly soon, say by 2020 or even earlier.

Rooftop solar has really taken off here in Australia, and around 20-25% of houses have a solar inverter.

Rooftop solar kills far more than nuclear per unit of energy thanks to installation accidents (put lots of people on roofs => some proportion falls off and dies) Larger solar plants may turn out to be safe enough, but they too have accidents from everything like mining the sand and other components for the photovoltaics to installation accidents and accidents during maintenance.
