This is the sort of thing Google/Apple/Facebook might do to their corporate buildings but to make it a requirement for the roofs of restaurants, bars, shoe stores, food stores, etc is ridiculous.

Not so ridiculous. I'm shopping for Solar panels for my new house (I move in 3 days yay!) and I'm learning a lot. Solar energy doesn't have to be sold back to the grid in all cases, at least not here in Montreal. For example you can use solar to power a part of your home circuit such as lighting at night to start, expand to cover things like TV's, etc. And also, solar tech is getting better every day, while prices are dropping. Solar ideas should be dismissed without doing some digging first.
