This number helps explain why rooftop solar is becoming more attractive in many states

        October 19, 2023 Inside Climate News | 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.
