If the 1940s taught me anything, if many Germans do something, it’s not always good.
The photo is stupid though, these solar cells will produce nothing at this angle with the tree in front of it.
It makes sense. A lot of the solar installation cost is installation because getting onto the roof can be expensive if scaffolding is needed, or you’re buying mounts and installing them
You can buy a decent 490W panel for €80 and a 3KW inverter for €800. For around €1500 in parts and around €500 in electrician fees you’ve got something which can make a reasonable difference to your bill, especially if you decide to use it to run air conditioning.
Good development. Sustainable energy for a relatively low cost, and a more decentralized energy grid.
I am sure it is good, as it is already illegal in Hungary.
This is now the 5th time today i see the exact same article on Reddit.
only germans who are 1.5meters can get them?
It is an “activity” to cover/avoid building wind turbine farms in Bavaria.
Eh, mostly there’s a problem with the pricing of electricity in Germany. Most Germans pay the same rate for electricity whether solar power is plentiful or the grid is close to collapse. So it makes sense to have a small solar panel to cover your own needs.
In other countries, you would just get basically free electricity from a nearby solar farm whenever the sun is shining. No need for your own panels.
The amount of bs in this thread from people that never even read further than the headline is unbelievable.
You have an opinion on everything, but no idea about anything.
Took me a while to understand that it wasn’t about short Germans.
Redditors want balkony Nuclear Energy asap
While i was sweating my ass off in Catalonia with 35C and not a single cloud for 10 days, i rarely saw solar panels on the roofs, even at newer houses. Would be so easy and cheap to cool your house
