Hello everyone,
this thread is about current offers/prices for photovoltaic systems on single-family houses.
It would be helpful to have transparent prices including system size and price per kWp.

To make comparisons easier, a general indication of the region and any specific conditions (e.g., multi-family house at 10m (33 feet) height, difficult access, etc.) would be useful.
Prices are rising sharply at the moment.
If this thread sparks interest, I would be glad.

Inflation has risen significantly. What used to be expensive is now a bargain. Unfortunately.
In my opinion, it is also a problem that compromises are now being made (or have to be made), which can have negative effects in the medium and long term. I believe that among other things, defective products are now being sold that no one would have accepted, chosen, or approved just a year ago.

Definitely!
I’m not saying that the products are truly defective, though.
But quality definitely seems to play a lesser role now.
Two to three years ago, anyone interested in solar panels would discuss glass-glass modules, the mounting system, and the exact origin of the modules in detail.

Today, you often hear:
“Well, I’ve placed the order, and my solar installer will install whatever modules are available at the promised installation date eight months from now. Of course, only quality products.”

Yeah. “Quality products” whose standout quality is simply being available.

I’m not saying that my planned system will be top of the line, but at least I informed myself about the components and rejected some offers for that reason. Two consultants independently told me that my questions are quite rare nowadays.
