It's going to be hard to justify production costs, but in places that subsidize it: it makes perfect sense to scale up solar wherever possible.

Hard to justify costs? The article quotes 6 years of amortization. I know numbers around 8-10 years in Germany.

Show me any consumer investment, that gives such a good ROI.

8-10 years is a fully fledged pv system. The small balcony panels pay themselves after about 5 years, longer if you add a battery.
