These are the pros but you forgot to outline the cons. One of the big issues with green energy in the Baltics is the lack of grid capacity. You can have solar panels fitted but unless the grid has enough throughput for you to be able to actually sell it back it's not worth much. These days the costs to upgrade the local grid are prohibitively expensive so it's not going to happen unless the government does it.
- markvdb 4y agoI'd expect a somewhat half capable government to take care of that using 85% EU co-financing like what happens for about all crucial infrastructure in the Baltics. I only know about the situation in Latvia in detail. There, installing small scale solar really is quite lucrative. You can use the amount of excess electricity produced in summer in winter, paying only the very low standard network infrastructure fee on top. Plus subsidies: up to 4k€ for your solar install, up to 4k€ for buying an electric car, and up to 4k€ for a heat pump install.
