Prices for electricity in ČR are too high, this is main reason

> Solar growth in the Czech Republic continues to accelerate. In the first half of the year alone, 69% more photovoltaics were connected than in the whole of 2022, so new solar sources should surpass the 1 GWp mark by the end of this year. This is based on data compiled from submissions from all distribution system operators and published today by the Solar Association.
> Since the beginning of the year, a total of 45,197 solar power plants have been successfully connected to the grid, with a total capacity of an impressive 487 MWp. Growth continues to be driven by households, with a total of 31,555 applications from the New Green Savings subsidy programme being paid. People’s interest in energy storage continues to grow, with nearly 95 % of domestic power plants connected this year equipped with batteries.
> The fact that the interest in photovoltaics is not slowing down yet is evidenced by the fact that, for example, ČEZ Distribuce, one of the three distribution system operators, recorded more than 35,000 new applications for connection by June, compared to about 70,000 for the whole of 2022.
Eastern Europe will have that distinct cyberpunk rundown feeling in 20-30 years where solar panels and cybernetics are mixed with 50 year old buildings while beggars are shitting themselves on the streets.
