Reply to comment by smsutton in How Much Land Would It Require To Get Most Of Our Electricity From Wind & Solar? by BlitzOrion

I always find those estimates of things like "just fill south dakota with panels" as a bit rediculous, heh. Plenty of rooftops on my neighborhood dont have solar; i dont know of any businesses in my area that have solar.

I generate more than i use, and only ~1/2 my roof is panels (i didnt want them to be garish, so they are on the back of the house).

I doubt much extra land is needed

Plenty of storage sheds... With simple roofs and no major obstructions... But they're largely unused, too.
