All valid points. I have no interest in the problems of urban population solar adoption. Their solutions should be transit and ride share services. Their power grid is very dense and pays for itself. My concerns and focus are on the aging rural grids that are prone to failure and don't have the density to be maintained properly. As to costs well the tech is new so it's pricey but so is hidden subsidies to grid power. Shrink the average house by 200 square feet and suddenly your solar costs are part of the house costs. Using the Ford lightning example they show a dedicated inverter charger setup with custom wiring and expensive accessories. All of that is useless fluff. Built into the Ford are high power inverters that can easily power critical loads in a house for days or slowly recharge a house based system. The much less expensive kia electrics have a plug in attachment for $200 that do the same thing. In rural areas if you have home based work you are spending most of your time at home. Most of the homes I see around me have at least one vehicle parked in the drive way most of the day. Experiences differ of course. I'm very interested in where all this goes. The world is changing I want to get an idea of how it's changing and hopefully not get crushed by it.
