Hand out incentives to put solar panels on private owned roofs and private power storage and this reached a few months. Making something the economic decision by adding incentives is far easier to sell than enforcing something by law.

Making something the economic decision by adding incentives is far easier to sell than enforcing something by law.

But also more expensive. Anyway, there actually are incentives, but I'm not sure to which degree those can effectively be extended. Right now there's simply a shortage in terms of qualified people who can put those things on a rooftop. I.e. if you want to become a roofer in Germany, now's the time.
