Oh you'll be surprised, I live in the UK, not exactly known for sunny weather lol, but even here, if battery tech was better and we could store a lot more, I can produce enough electricity on my house that's around two and a half times more than I need, the problem is, a big chunk of that energy is in summer, but even in winter, if we could store a month or two worth of energy, it would be enough because we still produce about 3 quarters of the home electricity. Because of how much energy is being generated on a 9kilowatt solar setup, I think it's enough to power all the electrics, a EV car and maybe a bit of heating, depending on how much you use the car. Anyway, what we need is a revolution in battery tech, that would be the game changer because solar is already good enough now if we can store a lot more of that energy, especially for home use, the good news is, solar tech is only going to get better and cheaper, it looks like we could be on the verge of big changes with battery tech over the next decade or so thanks to electric cars taking off, even in colder countries, there is more than enough solar energy and even if that wasn't enough, there's wind energy. I think people are starting to see the light now, especially since the war in Ukraine that's having on high energy prices, solar adoption is rapidly being adopted around the world, especially from consumers, but it's still clear many governments are playing games, very likely because of lobby groups, after all, there's a lot of money in the fossil industry and they will throw a lot of money to delay this transition, the good news is that high energy prices and energy security is killing the fossil industry sooner rather than later, so regardless of what governments do, I think we are going to get massive changes from consumers as solar is already cheaper than fossil fuels, it's only going to get cheaper and better overtime, so the irony is, it's in the interest of the fossil industry to reduce energy prices and stabilize the market, because the longer this drags on, the sooner governments and consumers will look for alternatives.
