With all the TUV, and government hoops that manufacturers have to jump through in Germany you would think that that the panels would be cheaper here, (Chinese "Harbor Freight" panels excluded), but apparently they are NOT. Hmmmm.

Very interesting!
Irayo ma Niri Te!

Quote....installed about five times more solar than the U.S (7,485 MW compared to 1,900 MW).
I have already expected a difference, but a so huge, I did not expect. :o

In the point, the U. S. really have to accelerate...

Oe mllte ma tsmuk. Most of the solar in the Unites States is NOT run by power company's, but by households like like the one that Ateyo and I have, out in the country,  and totally stand alone solar, or like better off residents of "well heeled" suburbs who have systems that are tied into the grid, and sometimes sell power to the grid at a much lower price than they pay the grid for it.

I would inject the excess electricity into the grid at the same price.
Everything else really is absurd...
(How to get the idea to sell the electricity cheaper than the grid price? :-\ I don't understand.)
