HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.orgto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US2·2 months agoIn Germany, which has very strict regulations, there was some discussion and now small balcony solar systems can feed back into the grid, turning the meter backwards. One has to register it and in theory the utility company will install a smart meter, but often, the latter does not happen (and the former is rarely controlled). (And for safety, the panels and inverters will switch off if the grid is down.)
I see it the other way around: I gave nobody permission to give my contact data, phone number, or mail address to Facebook and Google. Still, many people do. I do not see this as being kind.
