Note that "solar panel" can have two quite different meanings:
1) Panels that heat water.
2) Fotovoltaic panels, that directly generate electricity.
The latter is used mainly for rural areas, where there is no connection to the public electricity network. For the city, it is usually too expensive.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
