If everybody installs a few panels, that adds up to a significant amount.
In Germany, small installations with 600Wp can be easily installed with little bureaucratic fuss. With just over 300 thousand installations, that adds up to a whopping 180MWp! All private installations, without any land loss, without any changes required to infrastructure.
After about 4 years, I’ll be making money on my panels.
If you want to go all in, for the price of a new compact car, you can cover your roof with panels, store excess in batteries and be pretty much off-grid.
This just proves the fact that solar is a cheap and scalable power source. You might be hot for nuclear, but the market decided otherwise.
