| United States | renewables: solar
Roughly 5% of US homes have rooftop solar because power is cheaper than in Germany (20%) and Australia (30%). As rates rise > 15 c/kWh ($130/month), PV adoption saves money. 16 states are over 15, led by Hawaii (43, imported diesel) and California (26) while Utah, Nebraska, N. Dakota, Idaho, and Washington are under 11. Sustainability is cost effective.
