There's a really great web site for planning solar projects: https://globalsolaratlas.info/map?c=11.523088,8.4375,3
It also shows the potential for solar power and the cost per region.
For me in Northeast Ohio, a large system with 20 kW of panels would provide sufficient power through the winter to operate independent of the grid essentially. That system is about $40,000. It produces a large surplus through the summer months. If I can figure out a way to monetize the surplus power that doesn't rely on the government/grid deals I'd do it. The system has a large footprint, though.
The same $40,000 system in Berlin, Germany doesn't produce sufficient power three months of the year.
Solar is inherently cheaper in certain places and cost prohibitive in others, obviously.
