And half of this great story is a grassroot story. Private solar counts for a huge share of overall power. And currently most of installed battery storages.
For Non-Germans: Our utility companies try for ages to stop or at least slow the power generation transformation. It reduces their customers quite strongly and those companies are very intervened with politics unfortunately. However, the citizens grass root can‘t be stoped anymore.
Balcony solar is a real success story here. While each installation is very small, the numbers make a real difference. And it's a complete no-brainer, the hardware pays for itself so quickly. I am installing my panels this weekend, I just wish I had more space for even more wattage.
