   Because when you are buying a new house, you normally have   
   a problem getting someone to lend you that much money and   
   even if you can do that, you still have to pay for it eventually.   
      
   And when you no longer get bribed to have solar   
   panels, there is no point in being able to generate   
   more than you can actually use yourself.   
      
   It isnt even worth sizing the panels so they will always   
   be able to generate what you use yourself in the worst   
   weather with fuck all solar insulation available, it makes   
   makes more sense to buy from the grid in those conditions.
