Sadly no, but it's all good :)

Yep 100%. Though I'm relatively close to the coast and it's still warm at my place. The Bay Area is kinda weird, though, due to the mountains and valley and stuff.

One thing I never understood about Germany is why there is no air conditioner,
so you have to keep the windows open, but there is no screen in the window so
bugs can get in!

Yeah, I'd be curious to see how solar would work in other places. Nevertheless,
reducing reliance on the power grid feels like a win-win.
