Residential installations also require fewer transmission system upgrades which can be a significant factor in overall costs. It's one of the reasons my mind boggles when utilities complain about net metering, the power is going to be produced and consumed on the local portion of the grid which is unlikely to require any new capital improvements to accommodate the solar generation until solar reaches stupid high concentrations whereas adding the same amount of total capacity at a remote location is going to cost them megabucks to build new transmission and distribution capacity.
