Home Renewable Energy

Which is a better way to use solar energy, mass-production or individual home usage?
I know we need to put a ton of effort towards research in renewable energy, specifically solar. But when it actually becomes a viable alternative to oil, and we can ~store~ solar energy efficiently, would it be best put to use atop individual homes and buildings, or as a source of electricity for whole cities?
The biggest problem you have with large solar installations is finding a large area near a major population center. In many cases the town councils love the IDEA of solar energy BUT just don’t want the solar energy farm IN THEIR TOWN!
In terms of efficiency, a large solar installation is far more efficient than solar panels on everybody’s roof.
However in this case the Political decision ends up trumping the Engineering decision.
Create electricity at home – renewable energy!
