Solar panels on my roof made my neighbor furious - who's right?

Last month I finally installed a 6kW solar array on my house here in Columbus. My neighbor across the street, this older guy named Bill, came over and said I was 'ruining the neighborhood look' and that solar panels are just 'government hype.' I told him I calculated my payback at around 8 years with the tax credits and I'd save about $1,200 a year. He said I was just bragging and that the panels would lower his property value. I get that aesthetics matter to some people, but shouldn't we prioritize actually doing something for the planet? What do you all think - is it selfish to put panels up if your neighbors hate the look?

Bill should get a hobby, your roof your choice.
