Solar guy switches off our water boiler because he says "solar water heater" is sufficient in summer, then of course we had cold showers

So a guy came to install solar panels (like electric) on our roof and he saw we have the typical Portuguese solar water heater:

Then he checked our electric boiler (the thing heating our water) and saw it’s on and said:

"You guys are crazy! You only need to use your electric water boiler in the winter, in the summer you should only use the solar water heater, it’s sufficient!" and then he proceeded to switch off our boiler.

Then this morning we woke up and went for shower and we had had luke warm and then after 5 minutes cold water in shower 😂😂😂

Of course I expected this but still wanted to just see it happen.

It's so interesting Portuguese standards of living are so much lower, they literally accept having cold showers if it saves them money

Every single thing here is about saving money while disregarding life quality

It’s complete opposite to Kardashev Scale, they won’t spend money or energy, they won’t invest, which means they also never get a return on anything, they never grow, which is why the economy here is so stagnant.
