    Advantages:
    (1) lower marginal cost for increasing energy production (you don’t have to build a new coal fired facility to achieve a small increase in power production);
    (2) fewer issues with greenhouse gas production
    (3) distributed power production;
    (4) some independence from the grid.

    Disadvantages:

    (1) dependency on insolation (it works better in Arizona than in the Yukon);
    (2) initial installation cost for individual homeowner (but this is changing with new financing methods);
    (3) sensitivity to weather
    (4) it may require neighbors to be cooperative by not growing trees that block rooftop solar arrays;
