Depends where you live. IIRC California made it more difficult to have solar installed. Where I am there is a cap on the size of installation I can get, and how much I can produce.
Yes the technology is there and it’s great, but regulatory capture is still a huge problem.
Any idea when this happened? I live in a state with cheap electric and a few years ago after doing the calculation it wasn’t worth it to invest in solar. I’d love if that’s changed in the past 4 years.
If you’re building something new, it’s a no-brainer, even. You can use panels as the roofing material rather than an additional layer now. There’s both fancy products like the Tesla one and more practical options.

If you are pulling a construction loan or doing development, absolutely.
Roll it into the price of development and you can be practically fully independent of the grid out the gate.
People should really be thinking about their homes as much/ if not more than EVs.
The cost to convert your home to solar +battery has dropped through the floor.

Goddamn PG&E, and soCal Edison are responsible for that.
“Ooo we’re in the business of making money, not paying homeowners for generating it with their own panels” bitch shut the fuck up.
Corporations have been holding back progress with bought and paid for legislation for centuries.
Unfortunately that doesn’t work for all of us. Solar isn’t very viable where I live, since there’s not much sunshine.
Pointless comment tbh, you might as well have said “That doesn’t work for all of us because some people sleep under a bridge”
