Germans combat climate change from their balconies

Quick Summary:

In the first six months of the year, the country added 9 gigawatts of photovoltaic capacity, the amount of solar power a system produces, according to the Federal Network Agency, a German regulator.

When Thomas Losch first heard about a neighbour's solar setup -- several plug-in panels connected to smart meters that allowed the neighbour to optimise electricity use -- he scoffed at the idea.

People across Germany are installing lightweight solar panels, without the need for an electrician or heavy tools.
