You see them far more than Solar PV in Denmark as well, because IIRC you get taxed per kWh consumed, no matter where it's generated, so it's more economical to use the roof space for domestic hot water instead.
- Scoundreller 3y agoI wonder how many semi/complete guérilla setups there are.
- jacknews 3y agoThe output of your own panels that you use yourself is taxed per kWh? That's insane. And unenforceable, surely?
- SoftTalker 3y agoWelcome to Scandinavia. Everything is taxed. It's the price of "free" healthcare and all the other social benefits.
- jacknews 3y agoI'm not against taxes, and the Scandinavian model seems to lead to decent societies, but this seems unnecessarily 'invasive'.
- Scoundreller 3y agoSeems pretty easy to enforce (at a binary level) with sat maps.

It's a holdover from the old FIT days (because you were paid per kWh generated), and has never been deprecated - your actual export (and any payment per unit) is recorded on your smart meter anyway.
