The Sacramento (California) Municipal Utility District's PV Pioneer program (PV refers to photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity) provides 2,000-watt rooftop solar energy systems to customers at discount rates ($4,740 vs. $10,140 full price). Excess electricity generated by the rooftop systems is returned to the main power grid, and homeowners receive credit. Rooftop systems supply about half an average home's power needs. I don't think anything other than market forces and economies will really move this issue. Artificial markets will possibly delay it. I think I saw an estimate of 100 sq. mi of Nevada desert as filling the U.S. needs.
