Amazing background and knowledge from Donna Attanasio The only real thing she got wrong was her guess that utility scale solar would have better than rooftop. This one has a lot of math that comes out in the favor of the rooftop - especially if you begin to factor in resilience - whereas large PV arrays quite often have to close down when the grid fails. We need a world where distributed PV can help people during power interruptions. #dcbel
