I'm not convinced that that's it. It's more likely that the first person who got solar installed talked to their neighbors about it, and the neighbors were convinced. It's not like after you move to a neighborhood, you're really choosing anything after that point about your neighbors.
You're not actually disagreeing with what you've quoted. Learning about things from those you are near to is one mechanism for we become like those we choose to be around.
A short and sweet message in this little learning of the day post. You tend to learn from your geographic neighbors. It makes sense! Can we see the same thing for ebikes, and low water lawns?

Somewhat analogously the best predictor of if I read a book on a given day is if I read the day before, I'd guess.
This reminds me to get solar.
Proximity is not just geographical.
