All the usual 'obvious' points; all wrong.

Rooftop solar is pointless. Roofs don't scale; roofs are not optimally placed; roofs are hard to reach; roofs are not engineered to support the load or hardware. Open cheap unobstructed ground near a grid with clear access are optimal. Roofs are exactly zero of those.

Efficincy is 50% at best - the daily occurrence of the terrestrial eclipse known as 'night'? Remember?

Any panel argument is the same in space. Don't know what that point was about.

Using energy near the generation point is optimal. The heat argument is good; it goes double for a planet that's already heating up and causing problems. Get that shit away from our ecosystems.

Any advantage of ground-based solar is eroding daily with advances in lift cost, land price rises, congestion in cities. It's only a matter of time and money.
