It's completely bonkers to me that 12 solar panels I bought from a supermarket last fall, just plopped on the ground and hooked up to a hodge-podge of off-the-shelf parts (solar chargers, inverters and batteries) provides my small off-grid cabin/tiny house with the same amount of electricity my apartment uses on average (~7kWh).
In Estonia. In March.
Like sure there is the "ThEsUnDoEsNtAlWaYsShInE" crowd and a couple of caveats but, like how is this _not_ a NO-BRAINER for everyone? Like, housing associations of soviet era buildings like my apartment??
