Yes this is what is needed. The problem with Northern Europe is that the VOS would be so tiny people wouldn't bother.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoI'm not sure why you think that. Germany literally puts out tenders for rooftop solar and businesses bid to provide it. Why would they be going to all the bother of buying it if it had no value?
- rr808 4y agoGermany has a real problem as it doesn't have much nuclear, its main generation is still coal! Basically its desperate for any electricity at any price. https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE. The solar farms (incl rooftop) is much better than households as you can build/use bigger transmission lines to those locations. Belgium has a lot of Nuclear so not such a big problem. Its still burning gas though so more solar would help. Again farms are easier rather than residential houses who expect to get paid 10c/kwH on a sunny day in May.
