I think the selling back part of it is the issue, as you don't actually get full rate.
The provinces are all different on this. Alberta probably pays a higher rate, but I know Manitoba is pretty bad with paying next to nothing.
Your home versus large rooftop solar access arguments makes a lot of sense. I'd imagine the cost per kW is a lot cheaper on larger roof installs, especially with flat roof access where it is easy to install.
Plus, if some of those businesses would add energy storage and use it to offset their peak costs, they could save a lot more money and the payback would be quicker.
