    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.

      I agree. I often discuss this with friends and the argument of “our electricity network cant supply all that power” (which is true) is one i often counter with adding more solar panels, even to apartments.
