    You can go to googles sunroof project website to see how much footage/mwh a fully sunned home in your area would get. It’s been a while but I think they give you kwh, from there depending on the (if in us) eGrid you’d be on you’d be able to see if there would be a meaningful difference in a) energy you’d be saving or generating and b) how bad your average grid is.

    The Epa also publishes a tool called power profiler that can help you.

    Edit to include that I believe the EPA even has a GitHub that might have how bad each energy plant is? Not sure
