ᐅ Costs of Photovoltaic Systems with Energy Storage

I included the K2 mounting system. About 1500€ (approximately $1600).
The installation costs him nearly 5000€ (around $5400). Maybe he prefers external materials because then the warranty isn’t his responsibility?

For me, it was done by two people in about 1.5 days. With paperwork included, at best 3.5 person-days.
And yet some say you can’t make money in skilled trades…

I’m about to start my own business as a solar installer. 😎
Although climbing on roofs is not really my thing.
The profit margins there seem to be incredibly high.
But I get the impression that those who are actually working on the roofs get only a small part of that money.

Let me know when you get started. Hopefully, there will be a forum discount then.

I just received my first rough quote from Clensolar (after all the recommendations here). I'm a bit disappointed.
Yes, you mentioned they are not the cheapest, but at just over 1600 EUR/kWp (net) for 10.65 kWp, I can't really be satisfied, can I?
I mean, my really bad offer from Solarmeisterei was for just under 10 kWp but included a battery storage and very expensive LG modules — 27,000 EUR net versus now 17,000 EUR net without storage.
Maybe it's because Berlin is too far away after all?

I think I'll put the photovoltaic project on hold for now.

I have never seen such a bad offer from them before (and there were three in the last six months – all around ±1100 EUR net). Something’s definitely off.

We have also postponed it; maybe parts are missing or something else... It will be reconsidered again next spring.

The scaffolding is included as well. But that’s the case with the other offer too.

Possibly increased demand due to recommendations here in the forum. Sooner or later, even the best will adjust their prices if the offer is not scalable...
