Frustrating but all-too-real situation. I think a possible solution is ownership models that allow these homeowners to co-own these solar/generation assets. This would mean that when looking out at a solar farm or wind turbine, individuals would see something helping pay off their mortgage or save for retirement, rather than an "eyesore" that is owned by a private entity. The property itself could even be tied to the co-ownership of the system to help address the property value argument.

Bill, so frustrating! We need to promote climate change literacy in our communities and schools so all can get beyond the NIMBY syndrome.
