It's viable everywhere
Unless you're under a canopy of trees or buildings etc. But even the most overcast areas can still offset a lot of grid power, and even help feed the grid.
Not to mention wind. In the more overcast areas, the rebate's are larger typically as well.
In NY, you can get back up to 60% of the cost in rebates and tax breaks.
