The article mentions 2000 sq ft per home are needed. Ignoring longitude is that a good ball-park number for a DIY'er?

For a DIYer, you're looking at closer to 500 sq ft to get roughly 8 kiloWatts after losses, which is a solid amount for a home.

Love to see cheap solar energy getting produced.

It is about $4,500 per home. Turns out cheap electricity wins.
