Or here's another way to look at it: What's the whole point of having a solar power incentive? To get more solar power. Now suppose we changed the law governing solar power incentives to exclude rich people (or tall people, or right-handed people, or any group of people). What would happen? Less solar power.

That might be a desirable outcome, if you are more opposed to rich people getting tax breaks than you are to fossil fuels. But in that case, why not just raise taxes on rich people, and leave the solar incentive out of this?
