Balcony solar panels can save 30% on a typical household’s electricity bill and, with vertical surface area in cities larger than roof space, the appeal is clear

      M in million should always be capitalised for this reason.

      1.5M Germans vs 1.5m Germans

          Megagermans just sound evil.

          And milligermans, well there’s a vaccine against that I think.

        Until I read this comment I was 100% certain the post was about short Germans somehow preferring having their balconies occluded by taller-than-them solar panels.

          Maybe they’re also nudists, or otherwise like their privacy
