Basics

This page aims to determine the impact if all of the roofs in an area were covered in Solar Panels , both by digging for existant research, and some napkin math (maybe even GIS work?)
Do the math for Photovoltaic , Solar Thermal Panels , and Hybrid Solar Panels maybe? (PV is easiets)
Also do the math at different scales, street, neighborhood, county, nationwide
Also may want to add in to the analysis
- Cost / Time to Breakeven (could even delve into potential incentives/programs to encourage the development of this)
- LCA to determine environmental impact (could also get LCOE / EROI , but this isn't too relevant for this line of inquiry)
- Impacts of Different Grid Setups (per-house Off-Grid , Semi- Decentralized Grid , as well as pricing/incentives ( Smart Grid stuff) , Supergrid (ie could the "staggering" help) )
  - Granted this can become a page in of itself!
