I mean even ~133/kWh..

Whats an average, perhaps even gratuitous, level of consumption per household? 24kwh if you are running a clothes drier and an AC nonstop? Lets go nuts, say you are a DIY enthusiast and hosting your own servers, so 36kwh daily.

3192€-4788€ to be and you can be effectively energy independent with a small solar system.

Triple that and you are truly energy independent are any where south of the English channel. I mean obviously its money out of pocket, but its a fixed cost that you pay now, instead of a variable cost that continuously goes up. It just seems basic.

Sure, but at 16€/kWh well that's a whole other ballpark. Buy one 36kWh for < 600€, put it in your car, charge at work 😋 style of different.
