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

Utility scale is 2x cheaper despite all that.

    I think you mean cheaper for the utility. It is certainly not cheaper for me, the homeowner.

      The only reason for that is that you still have access to the grid and are gaming the system via a rate structure that allows you to free ride.
