Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off

Spas and apartments and buses/trains do absolutely exist. Only the former is considered “luxury” in the US, though.
Yes, group services can be a lot more efficient and more reliable but they’re also out of your control
Wasn’t Solar City’s whole gambit to effectively buy everyone’s roofs and lease them back for a fraction of their real market value?
I don’t think you escape “Own nothing and be happy” just by throwing up a few hundred watts of solar on an extension cord.

Yes there were and still are too many scammers. Sometimes I think that’s held the industry back even more than the price. If we had any consumer protections, it would blow up the installer industry.
That doesn’t change my point
