Keep your wife happy - an old saying:

"A happy wife is a happy life"

Go with that.

I've had solar, intend to again shortly (just bought my first home) - and seen some local systems.

Never seen any solar panel arrays, including my own I would call "aesthetically pleasing".

There are solar panel arrays you can place on the roof itself instead of the shingles,

but they still detract from the symmetrical design of a nice house.

If you can afford it, pay the extra money, live with the decreased output,

enjoy your life, and your wife.
