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 Panels , 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!

- An Article by ARS Technica Titled "A solar panel on every roof in the US? Here are the numbers"
- An Article by Forbes Titled "What Would The Economic Impact Be If Everyone Installed Solar Panels?" (mainly coveres the impacts to the grid / const incentives for development of Grid Scale Storage (didn't really cover Semi- Decentralized Grids or utilizing that extra energy for Power-to-X processes)
