Several, here in Spain there are quite a few chalets that use solar roofs for their own consumption and even have surpluses to repay surpluses to the network. Decentralizing energy production is a more efficient way than centralized production, naturally the energy industry is still putting obstacles, but this is already changing little by little. People realize that a house can be energetically self-sufficient with current technologies. https://www.homebiogas.com/blog/energy-self-sufficient-home/

How is it more efficient?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

It's more efficient because you're constantly producing energy that you don't always need, so you feed it back into the grid that otherwise burns coal/etc to make up the deficit.

Is it good? Yes. Does that mean houses are better than apartments? Lol no
