Are Rooftop Solar Panels and Batteries the Solution to America’s Growing Energy Crisis? Collections of them can act like small power plants. Rooftop systems could theoretically provide almost half of the electricity that residents in many states use over a year.

My take is that it is, if the cost is no more than 10x the yearly electricity cost.
It’s possible but not sure its economically feasible. I’ve got solar that pretty much offsets my electrical usage and the system will pay for itself in about 15 years. I’ve also got battery backup but it doesn’t really help that anything other than to provide backup power in case of power outages.
