I suspect the future for city dwellers is going to be community systems; shared resources.
This is no longer the future. It's already here. Sooner or later, we won't be able to afford a car. I already pay 1200 euros per year for a place in an underground car park. For the last five years, two levels of this car park have been leased to a car sharing company. Since the beginning of this month, the city has been swamped with e-scooters which are now also competing for the little room there is on our streets. Meanwhile, they're making the place ever more unattractive for car traffic. Our former grand avenues have been reduced to one lane per direction with a restriction of 30 km/h (18 mph) and speed cams at every corner. Loading or unloading in front of the building where we live is a constant race against the city's traffic wardens.
The PV system on the roof will provide service for all of the building's tenants. You'll share both the cost & the benefits.
And we will be paying taxes for the electricity we generate with our own PV systems. This is the closest thing they've ever come to a sunshine tax. Ralf -- Ralf R.
