First question: How much of the cost of a house is the cost of the land, and how much is the cost of the construction?
Second question: if the PV is part of the construction, and not bolted on afterwards, what can you save?
Third question: given that these save money and are a net economic win after a decade even when they are bolted on as an afterthought, even if the answer to #2 is “none” and even if the answer to #1 is that purchase prices go up rather than land owners can’t sell for as much, surely it’s still a win?
