My 10' x 10' array can produce ~1kw for ~5 hours per day. Not alot but it is something. If everyone had their roof covered in them, there might not be a reason to import oil

Since we use almost no oil to generate electricity, how would this help curb our oil imports?

Good point, we could cut our oil imports by about 1% and natural gas imports by about 16% which would still make it less expensive for me.
