What money? Power bills won't go down. The solar panel factories aren't in that county. The installers will be brought in from out of state contractors.

But it's unreliable, and needs a lot of battery tech + overbuilding to make it reliable. Can people be confident that building the array will in and of itself make their electricity bills go down?
Even with those additional costs, it is still arguably the cheapest generation technology.
if people can't be confident about this it's only because a bunch of grifters and oil company propaganda. The math here is pretty easy.
The contractors that build it and the jobs to maintain them.
We should be honest and admit that the maintainance jobs are very, very few.
Power bills will go down. Solar electricity is by far the cheapest form.
