Yo, if you live in Berlin and have a sunny balcony/garden/window. You can get a plug-in solar setup for basically free.
This city subsidy program gives you up to 500€ for a setup and most only cost you around 300-400€.
Its basically free electricity for your apartment/home.
@timonsku Would be nice to see more of that in the UK and less "Oh but we've made it a conservation zone so no solar because it'll ruin the look".
Still pays for itself in 4-5 years here with the feed in tariffs - bit longer with battery. Unfortunately there are bizarre historic rules about feed in payments and second hand panels not being eligible that are only now starting to get resolved or it would be 3-4 if you used 2nd hand panels.
Keep in mind that in Berlin you need aproval before you can buy if you want the subsidy.
Its the opposite in other programs so read up before you make an order.
Curious; Does that have an inverter? If it does, can it be connected to my house wiring?
If inverter is not included, how am I (average Joe) supposed to utilize that?
