I have a feeling this is where the suburban and rural grids are going. Dense urban areas are likely still going to need power produced off site.

What I'm more interested in will be farms in whether they'll stay traditional producing food or convert solar farms where food production is not the main focus (see the hops farming solar panels for example).
