> You can't even put solar panels on the roof of an apartment building and then sell the power to the tenants, regulation prevents it.

At least in my country, AFAIK regulation explicitly allows for something like that: there's a net metering modality in which a group of consumers (for instance, a condominium) can split the credits from the net metering of a shared solar power plant. It's meant for precisely that scenario (power panels on the roof of an apartment building, each apartment has its own independent meter).

Awesome. I hope Germany fixes the legislation around solar too.
