Mostly people falling of roofs I think. When you have lowest bid contractors going up and down millions roofs each for a measly 10kw of power. The aggregate deaths per kw are worse for residential than other power sources.

That's the reason. Overall, family homes don't make for very safe or efficient power plants.

Very efficient for distribution though which is expensive (check your utility bill).
Don't need to run power lines for hundreds of miles if you have a generator on your roof.
