No, it's not. As already pointed out, Germany is full of PV, even very large systems.
Deploying solar systems everywhere is very important to decentralize energy creation (and in the future: energy storage). The future of our electrical systems lies in decentralized systems, to minimize the need for huge infrastructure to get power from A to B and also to "harden" the grids against failures.
So, it's a good idea to have solar on every house. And if it only takes care that your fridge is running on "your own" energy from the PV system that's a good start as well.
