Solar on EVERY house?

I think this is a viable option and will be successful in the long run to some of our energy concerns.

Until the initial lawsuits work their way through the system. Adding solar to property is an "individual" home improvement renovation. The question now before the local CA court is (will end up before the CA Supreme Court regardless of who wins), does CA laws allow a county to tack a loan payment onto property taxes? Take a look at Hawaii's laws (which were written in to prevent government from taxing property owners for private improvements not related to the county as a whole) and ask if this would pass legal scrutiny of the courts. Just because something has occurred elsewhere, doesn't mean it will be legal in HI.
