People want to get off fossil fuels. Its not a matter of which is more cost effective. Its a matter of how affordable solar and battery is. Its clear the technology has nearly arrived such that if a middle class household wanted to get off the grid, off coal, off gasoline for their car... they can do it and afford it. Even if its still more expensive, its within their reach where it wasn't before.
