What SC offers is a way for homeowners who are not flush to get something in the way of renewable energy going. It you are just scraping by, you can build a purpose made structure for PV, you may not even have the credit or collateral for a $15k or $20 financed installation.
So yes it is lacks the greatest return, but the fact it is possible at all makes it pretty wonderful. You simply agree to the process and your power bill drops. You don't have to understand much - that means yt]ou can go to work , or soccer practice, or your second job instead of researching PV and rate schedules. Not optimal? Not everyone can get optimal.
