Similar situation in the UK: solar panels peak production is when the heat pump () needs the least power (just for hot water).

In the , Winters are windy, and harvesting energy from wind would be ideal. Alas, current options aren't suitable: either a massive mast with large blades away from buildings to avoid turbulences (at a huge expense), or nothing.

Installers have so far been reluctant to offer any rooftop options, stating these don't work in practice and end up as net consumers of electricity (some need power to spin up when wind picks up), citing various council-driven initiatives that ended up with wind turbines being sold for scrap after a couple of years.

If someone comes up with a relatively inexpensive rooftop wind turbine capable of operating under turbulent wind input as expected around houses, that would transform domestic energy supply in windy countries like the UK. A huge business opportunity.
