Most people aren’t interested in being responsible for their own electrical generation. Especially with payback still being on the order of decades

My payback is 6-7 years in Canada with $0 invested.

“Responsible for my own power generation” = I do literally nothing. Nada.

I get $1000 a year for free.

Please show me someone who does not want $1000 per year for absolutely nothing.

A lot of people in my area are interested and it would be a net positive for them long term, but the area is poor so few can afford the initial costs despite knowing the money they would ultimately be saving.

Most people don’t have the capital to be responsible for their own electricity generation, except the rich.
