Default Trade offs

I was reading an article on corporate rooftop solar, and it prompted the question:

Sq-Ft for Sq-Ft, Dollar for Dollar; Is corporate rooftop space better used for solar power generation or "Green Roofs"?
Of course this would have to be looked at from both a individual (corporate) and societal (local and Global) perspective.

Have at it!

Plenty.

I would start with Google and wiki and then take your research a level or two deeper.

OK, try these numbers.

Solar efficiency, just below 12%.

Solar cost, $8.58 per watt.
