There is not difference whatsoever. Solar plants are owned by corporations, and regulated but the government. You need a ton of permits to install your own and still you have to pay taxes, grid fees, or administrative charges
The sun is owned
Over here, rooftop solar is allowed entirely without permit, as is in-house battery storage.
Of course, that won't keep my heat on in January, or do much for industry use, but it's a pretty chunck of my power use covered without anyone getting a say
For now...
Most civilized places not only allow but promote small domestic panels and battery systems.
Oh yes! I didn't say otherwise. But they still require permits, taxes and distribution fees
I don't know many places where you can just install them and run your house off them without it being hooked to the main lines
