Good luck with solar in Germany when you will be paying a fee for feeding in energy to the grid during solar peek time from 2027 onwards.

Why would that be unreasonable? Generating some power somewhere, sometime isn't hard. Generating the right amount at the right time in the right location is. (In other words logistics.)

So yeah the cost is in moving and storing the electricity by maintaining and expanding the infrastructure.

Do you have a source? Can you "waste" that energy instead of feeding it in?

It's solar so you can literally just unplug it. Although at the scale of an individual house you can just unplug (or otherwise deactivate) pretty much anything. It's the industrial scale stuff that can't be adjusted on a dime.

		I could probably make a small PCB with a light sensor, that disconnects the solar panels (through a relay) once sunlight hits the sensor. So you aren't paying any fees for supplying the grid with energy.

Why not store it in small and large battery systems and use it later?

		Much better yes. I am just thinking that worse case one could burn it to not have to pay, so in reality having to pay would not be a problem.
