I know Texas is oil country, but if people can get basically free energy then they may be interested. We may get it wetter here, but there's still enough sunshine to be worth it. Solar is getting much more common here now.

I work for Big Oil. I am an exploration geologist. I find oil and gas for a living:)
Yet my home is basically off the grid, net year on average. I don't generate enough over the summer (Houston is very hot, A/C is expensive in terms of wattage), but mostly make up during the winter, as winter here is sunny, unlike UK.
My problem is I don't have enough south facing area on my roof. You can see above, I have only 8 panels facing south, they are more efficient. The west facing panels don't generate enough.
