Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Germany paid early and bandwagon adopters of rooftop solar almost €0.10/kWh to sell back to the grid for fifteen plus years. There is so much residential solar here it actually causes problems for grid operators.

That buyback subsidy has ended but with some of the highest electricity prices in the world and a political environment which is pushing electric heating, new solar installs are still popular.
