To get a building permit for rooftop solar requires an overpriced set of local approved contractors, a bunch of lengthy approvals and at the end of the day pay more on legal than the panels
If you just put them on municipalities with view it as an unapproved improvement and tear it down for you.
In most areas with zoning you have to put the panels stand alone on their own post XX distance from buildings to evade the high costs, contractors and panel limitations.

This is what I was referring to. It's cheaper, easier and more effective to just install them on my car than on my house because the car doesn't fall under the mercy of building codes, HOA's or landlords
For me I would have to get approval from my landlord to install a 4 foot deep footer and stem wall all the way around my house, place pillars from there up to the level of the roof, frame and build another roof over my roof, and then, only then could I install solar panels on it.
Unless I installed the solar panels flat facing straight up.
But my house is also in the shade of a pine tree during parts of the day during the winter.
