Meanwhile here in New Mexico a place you have to be a fool not to have solar, I see almost none. Honestly this amazes me more than anything. If you live in NM, AZ, NV or really anywhere in the south west you could easily run a house on solar and be grid free yet I see very little solar here.

Solar is becoming more and common here in Northern California. Our HOA didn't allow it at first, but eventually they lost that battle. Our county also has a great subsidy program too, and combined with all of the other programs it costs very little up front to buy and install on your house, and you can fiance that if you wish.
