One of the best predictors of whether people install solar panels on their house isn’t their age, their race, their level of income, or their political affiliation.
It’s whether their neighbors did it first.
This finding has been shown repeatedly across space and time, including in California, Connecticut, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. “It happens at the street level, it happens within zip codes, it happens within states. It seems to be a common feature of human decision-making that crosses many boundaries,” says Kenneth Gillingham, a professor of economics at Yale University whose study helped establish the finding.
On Monday, Google will put the finding into practice with Project Sunroof, its free online tool that aims to make it easier for people to obtain and use home solar panels. Project Sunroof will now not only inform users how much sun hits their roof, or how much solar panels would save them per month, but also which of their neighbors have taken the plunge first.

How about you start showing us who has multiple homes, that way we can go to their houses and protest for having too much excess in their lives. One planet raping house is enough, no?
At some point you have enough house… unless you’re a lefty.

I’m gonna paint a big profile of a black AR-15 on my roof and call it:
Project American Patriot.
“Oooo, a map to free solar panels,” said the solar panel thief to his crew.

Smooth, That’ll confuse the hell out of the black helicopters. They’ll never find you.
Let them land. I’ll just steal the damn helicopter and fly away with it.
I’m waiting to see what a 200knot typhoon
does to all of them here. In the heat here, I
don’t think they’d last that long, and that’s
at twelve north.
i lived in AZ in the 80’s. they put solar panels up on the roofs of the rest areas.
3 days later they were stripped off.
True story.
No one had to subsidize the Model T.
Subsidies is social engineering
More Lefties are into solar panels than Righties eh?
An Aerial Map may prove useful one day.
The biggest indicator is really the total amount of community, State, and federal subsidies that bring the price down to “nearly free”.
