#Hungarian Government: they helped to create huge amount of civilian #solar panels; they created zero storage; they offered the system to buy the surplus and deduct from the usage, so it was very economical to spend lot of money on the solar.
Now they say "the evil EU make us" to change the system to monthly differential (they don't want to pay for storage costs), so summer production cannot cover winter use. About 100'000 people gets fucked. They're still not burnt. #Hungary

…actually last month #hungary government have stopped residential #solar installations by forbidding "selling" surplus energy back to the grid, additional to forbidding solar power plants last year by closing all the grants related to them.
Screeching halt.
Oh and they have forbidden building new #wind turbines last year as well "until further notice". Lovely ain't it?

Not if you only use electricity when the sun is shining at 100% power. Yes unless that's not the case.
(Read: definintely yes.)

DYK that Hungarian electrical system is about to collapse (according to the honest local government) due to unable to store (and equalize) the solar and wind power intake? (Hungary has no mountains to use for water-gravity storage.)

#France leads the way.

New legislation demands all *existing* carparks with 80 or more spaces must install a #solar roof (in 3-5 years)

This could generate up to 11 gigawatts, which is the equivalent of 10 #nuclear reactors!

Somebody was after pictures of phone boxes, can't remember who. Anyway, I stopped beside this one on the way back to Broken Hill today. #solar #payphone #outback
