Grid-scale solar installations can be much more decentralized than nuclear or natural gas power plants.
Decentralizing through subsidies at the homeowner level is maybe not the best use of money.

Consider the lower production cost of renewable electricity: in the long run, it offsets the investment. Bonus: no risk of accidents, no hazardous waste, no dependence on a fuel source, no weapons proliferation...
Decentralizing solar power reduces electricity transmission costs and improves reliability. This doesn't offset the additional cost, but it's not negligible.
