    My brother, who lives in germany, has told me about this before and i love the idea so much. Its so simple to implement and has no downsides whatsoever.

    And yet, i can not for the life of me get my land lord convinces to allow me to do this too despite it needing no permanent changes to the apartment… Solar panels rules are too strict here too, and i love that germany just embraced them like its nothing

    It’s often said that probably the biggest challenge with switching over all the cars and heating to renewables here in Germany, is going to be the transport of so much electricity to all the homes.
    That’s what I also really like about the balkonkraftwerk, that it produces electricity right where it’s used.
