The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

House fires would produce even more industrial-strength toxic air pollution into the surrounding neighborhood.

Before all the other negatives, one question, what will we do with all the electricity? Where will we put it and the explosive and toxic battery farms?

What if government got the hell out out of our lives and left it up to us how we want our own roofs adorned.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Mine would be covered with snow at least 6 months of the year.

All great points!  Now consider the aesthetics of a sea of roofs in a suburban area, looking like schit.

At this latitude (48 degrees North), in order to get meaningful light on the panels (especially in winter), they'd have to be nearly vertical and facing south. Better hung on a south wall than mounted on the roof. While that would protect them from hail and from some wind, and keep snow from accumulating to any large degree, if the wind hit them just right, they'd have to be pretty substantial mounts to keep them from being peeled off the wall, and likely the wall would have to be reinforced to handle the load.
