Exactly! If you've got fairly short (sub)urban drives, and the disposable income for a 2nd or 3rd vehicle, they'll do that job quite well. But they won't save you money. And many people would do much better with telecommuting and a bike.

My home is not the best candidate for solar electric but rather solar hot air in the winter when my maple tree is not shading the south side. Trees are great for dealing with carbon dioxide too.

I didn't know you lived in my house :-) Big maple tree shades the south, east has apples & pears, west is cherries, though they're not tall enough to give much shade before the sun goes behind the mountain. So no good place for solar PV.
