For first few seconds, I deadass though they are talking about Germans with a height of 1,5 meters.

That was me.

So why won't taller Germans get solar? I don't even see the connection to height... Oh, maybe they hit their heads on the panels? No, that doesn't seem likely... I don't get it.

Only Germans this high have balcony solar

Makes sense, taller Germans throw too much of a shadow to make the solar worth it.
