    Annoying that the picture in the thumbnail shows as a video, but it cannot be played. Instead it plays another video?

    I like the concept, if you can install it yourself it’s a huge saving compared to having a company do it, for us installation of our solar panels by an independent company was €4.600,- which is a pretty steep price IMO, and a significant part of the whole investment of getting solar panels.
    But demand is simply so high that they can almost charge what they want. And despite the high price there was over a month waiting time.

      Yeah, it is a bit crazy and even if you are doing it yourself, the mounting often costs more than the panels these days, especially for roof mounts.

        Yes, but that’s peanuts in comparison, like maybe 10% of the cost of having the panels installed on a roof.
