    A lot of the big building companies, in Europe, treat solar panels as a premium option and so charge a larger profit margin on them. Installing solar, while constructing the house is a LOT cheaper and easier than retrofitting them later.

    The panels have gotten cheap enough that it’s no longer a real cost burden, Vs the cost of the house.
