We have passed the torch of a fascist dystopia to another country.

For first few seconds, I deadass though they are talking about Germans with a height of 1,5 meters.

*hurrdurr* Germany! Hitler! *hurrdurr*

This article is more than 1 month old

I am not sure if you are a student of history but twice before the Germans decided to go to war and have as their foe the world.
-
Oh, Nazi reference, how original.
-
Only Germans this high have balcony solar
-
Nearly 100 years on time to move on and focus on the ones that carried it on I think
-
In b4 nimbys complain it's an eyesore despite most people never looking up
-
Oh no! Quick! To the incinerator!
-
We happily take the blame for WW2, but WW1 is on Austria!
-
Germans also have 7 times the power bill
-
nb4 someone laughs at us Germans for pulling out of nuclear power: No, nuclear is not cheap. It's literally the most expensive way to generate electricity. Solar is cheap and better for the environment.

Don't know about "happily". "Readily" might be more accurate.

“Plug-in solar is part of the whole array of options,”
I don't understand how this works, for our system the "plug in" is an inverter that cost about $3000.- (half if it doesn't have to handle a battery), and it needs to be installed by an authorized electrician.
For a small system as the one shown, the price of panels are peanuts, the ones shown should cost less than $150. While to the cost of inverter and getting it connected are way way higher.The article says nothing about how the power from those panels is made usable.
-
I wonder if a whole building could use one or two inverters?
I feel that'll make the cost reasonable

I blame Bavaria. If Germany had multiple price zones like other European countries instead of one giant one prices would plummet here in the north, while they'd explode in Bavaria. The state that does not want wind power, does want nuclear power, but already knows ahead of time that its geology (with lots of mountains and granite) is unsuitable for nuclear waste storage. Meanwhile, north German wind power and Scandinavian hydro dams complement each other perfectly. The Bavarians could do the same with the Austrians, they just don't. They want to eat cake and have it, too.
