Wir und der Bundesverband Steckersolar machen haufenweise Vorschläge wie man kleine Speicher kostengünstig einbinden könnte und so peak shaving & valley filling selbst mit Steckersolar. Interessiert aber GasKathi nicht und die aktuellen CDU Bt fraktions Vorschläge zu BalkonSolar sind auch eher mäh

33. Pakistan: about 25% of generation comes from solar, mostly small systems owned by the user. It has grown due to rising power prices, distrust of the utilities, landlords who see the benefits and provide solar to tenants as patronage, and really good how-to Tiktoks in local languages.

32. A few interesting bellwether markets! Bulgaria, with 2025 peak power demand of 7.4GW, already has 4GW of batteries and a further 2-4GW in the pipeline, for 16GWh total. It is well connected with neighbouring grids and may become a short-term balancing hub.

23. Balcony solar: sure, you can put solar on anything. It works at any scale. But the amounts are tiny - this is not really an alternative to building large amounts of rooftop or ground mount solar.

21. The Hormuz crisis is having little direct effect on PV sales, because solar doesn’t usually replace liquid fuel. It is boosting EVs, particularly in Europe where they reached 36% of car sales in Q2 2026 (China’s figure was 60%, though its car market slowed). This does eventually support PV.

7. Batteries are going to grow like crazy for the next five years or so and BNEF’s forecasting team are being cowards about it. Batteries are still expensive compared with no batteries, but they are easy and quick to build, and can sometimes replace hard-to-organise investments like transmission.

5. Solar is still the cheapest source of bulk electricity in many countries, and the quickest to deploy, and now you couldn't stop it if you wanted to. The limits to PV build in most places that aren’t yet running into saturation effects are grid access and permitting.

1. It’s the end of the beginning of the age of cheap solar. 2026 is likely to be the first down year for PV build, despite module prices of 11-12 US cents per Watt in normal markets, not substantially up from the lowest levels ever (9 cents in 2025 before a Chinese export tax rebate was cancelled).

Wir schlagen zwei technologieoffene Maßnahmen vor: ↗️ ♾️ Die gesetzliche Obergrenze von 2000 Wp für die angeschlossenen Solarmodule aufheben oder anheben. 📉 Und Dynamische Einspeiseregelung.
