Just 10 years ago, landlords could ban you from putting solar cells on your balcony because it makes their building look “messy”. Now Germany is really pushing forward to let everybody put solar modules on their balcony with these new laws. How is legalization of balcony solar cells in your country? Is setting up solar modules on your balcony easy or difficult law-wise?
“To be able to handle it” means a meter that will not record any negative consumption to prevent them from having to pay you for excess energy.
Basically that. As long as he’s using 100% himself it doesn’t really matter, but a friend of mine has one of those old Ferraris meters and getting full price for every kWh fed to the grid means, the whole thing pays for itself within two years.
Means a meter that records input as well as output and no, Germany so far does not have anything in place where regular folk get paid for what they input.
But as I said, everything I generate goes directly into my own consumption, so I don’t mind much.
