If you're knowledgeable enough to know how to do the installing, you'll save the money that way too. I feel like it's the community solar that's probably the worst offenders, they build it, you effectively rent the generation capacity, but ideally the cost of the electricity you get back is more valuable than what it cost you to pay your rent.

I still think everyone should believe in it as a value proposition, and as as a way to balance risk from grid instability, but I would like better information about who is reliable and who the bad actors are.
