Edit: Be aware that some people try to post misinformation here, such as that such plants are not safe in the case of a power failure (untrue), or that they are not economical (untrue, their advantage is that they have very low installation costs).
By the way: One reason why electricity from the grid is relatively expensive in Germany is that private consumers pay much higher prices than large, power-hungry companies. Effectively, consumers are subsidizing companies, which in turn can often profit from very low prices for power from solar generation, because companies can buy from exchange markets at spot prices, but private persons can’t.
Balcony solar plants shift that tilted balance back a bit.
And after all this, they still piss and moan about “prohibitively high energy prices”.
Next by the way: Access to these special prices for companies depends on the total amount of electricity used. Which adds a reverse-incentive: Under some circustamces it is cheaper to waste electricity in order to keep access to cheaper prices than to use less electricity. Because if you use less then you have to pay normal prices.
Realer Irrsinn: Mehr Strom, weniger Kosten
