still looks small if simplifying and counting just by global population would be 340/8100*1800 = ~$75B. Besides US market is more profitable.

Would it be possible to make it work on iOS or android? I always missed better support of python on mobiles. In the past used PythonKit rapid prototype and interop with Swift but had limited set of modules. Wish to use this in react native

electricity is only one power source - you not gonna use it for e.g. heating because its expensive. When you look at graph with energy consumption by source german situation is bad and solar provides less than 6% and wind less than 11% [1].
