Non-profit community solar farms would be better for a lot of people.

For those that live in apts or are in a house they know they won't stay for long, community solar should allow them to buy small pieces of solar that follows them.

The other problem of solar on rooftops is that labor and installation take up a big part of the cost. A solar farm minimizes those costs.
