Exactly. Why take a chance of roof damage, insurability issues, for such minor ROI?
I like the solar flower idea, but it is still quite large, and for the average Villages house footprint, not especially practical.
The best use of solar in Florida would be to preheat water before it feeds into your water heater, reducing the amount of gas/electricity needed to heat it to the desired temp.
Funny how that isn't subsidized/promoted. I guess it doesn't fit the green agenda, or the enrichment of the CCP via cheap solar panels.
