  Solar panels are basically free at that point, they're pay themselves in <2 years in Greece. We're not talking about a 20k euros investment, even 1k would go a long way

    Even way less than that. 1000W solar panels + 800W micro inverter can be bought for roughly 250€ right now.

      Has it become that cheap? Do you have a link?

        Yeah, it is incredible: https://www.netto-online.de/balkonkraftwerk-1000w-800w-solaranlage-steckerfertig-wifi-komplettset-photovoltaik-anlage-800w-kabellaenge-5m/p-2865810000 https://www.netto-online.de/balkonkraftwerk-1000w-800w-solar... For those not speaking German: Base price (incl. tax) for the bundle is 210€, plus 60€ shipping, minus 30€ sale, so 240€ for a complete set, including tax and delivery.
