In most places in the developed world utility-scale solar is much cheaper to build than rooftop solar. And there's value in having a stable grid to fall back on. I think the demand destruction story is overrated.

Utility-scale solar needs land and has to deal with line losses. Rooftop solar does not have to deal with either.

Balcony solar is even cheaper to build than utility-scale solar.
