Want people to get rooftop solar?
Put solar on rooftops where people can see it.
Cities and power companies and even NGOs like Habitat for Humanity
can help with that.

Katrina-Ravaged Neighborhood Reemerges as ‘Largest Solar Housing Development in Southeast’:
The former St. Thomas Housing Projects are reborn into a square mile of solar-powered homes,

The St. Thomas Housing Project in New Orleans used to be known best
as a high-crime area, until Hurricane Katrina swept it it all away.
But seven years after the fact, St. Thomas has been reborn as the
mixed-income River Garden Apartments, which has once again gained
notoriety, but this time as the “largest solar neighborhood in the
Southeast.”

The River Garden Apartments encompass eight blocks that cover about
one square mile of New Orleans. The brightly colored homes are
topped with solar panels and according to Clean Technica, the
development is Louisiana’s largest solar project to date.

And also in Oakland, California:

In order to bridge the gap between some much-needed shelter and
sustainable building practices, California’s PG&E and Habitat for
Humanity are currently building a 12-unit low-income housing
development which will also be powered by solar energy. The project
is part of PG&E’s Solar Habitat Program, which funds the full cost
of solar PV systems on every Habitat-built house in the area.

Hm, we could do that here.
Over in Brooks County near Quitman,

there’s already something almost like that.
In Savannah,

Sustainable Fellwood
is even more like that.
The quickest way to get people to see rooftop solar is possible
is to

put it on rooftops where everybody can see.
