Sure you have business roofs. Less of them than houses but they are bigger. Maybe you double the total roof area. That likely still wouldn't be enough, likely not even close.

Also I don't think its likely to be economical to cover every sw foot of roofage in the US with solar cells, even after the technology is more mature.

I'm not arguing against solar, or even a much greater use of solar energy. Just arguing that its likely to only be a relatively small part of the solution.
