Solar panels are not cheap. Not sure where you get your information. They are also not as established as wind turbines. 

40MW by installing roof solar panels. Wow that worth cost zillion times than inshore wind. 

Agreed.  I've done some work for a renewable energy company in Kenya, where you'd think it is sunnier than windy.  Numerous official studies commissioned concluded wind was more cost effective. 

They've also got a load of geothermal up in the Rift Valley. 

But sticking solar on your roof is a lot less intrusive than a windmill in your garden.

Yes, but it would be easy to get the general public involved in financing it, rather than bankrupt the country on the whim of what they think will be cost effective wind turbines.

Not on garden. On the hill.

Sure. If the government offered a price match, so you pay for one, the government pay for a second, and you benefit from the energy produced, people would jump at it.
