Hello everyone,
After countless rejections due to overload, availability, and delivery issues, I have finally received an offer for a photovoltaic system.
The system is planned for our new build (completion in 2023). We have a gable roof, almost south-facing, with a 30-degree pitch, fully usable, about 50 sqm (540 sq ft) of roof area per side.
The house is being built in Bavaria, about 60 km (37 miles) from Thuringia.
The offer surprised me a bit. The following items are included:
14x MAXEON modules at 430 W each, heat pump system, totaling 6.02 kWp - €11,138
1x Tesla Powerwall 2.0, 13.5 kWh - €10,400
Installation, etc. - €3,130
Total: €24,668 net
I find that quite expensive. I would leave out the battery anyway, but even then, I think the price for the 6 kWp system is too high. Apparently, this is currently the price you pay in Bavaria if you can find someone at all. For me, the question is whether it even makes sense to invest right now or just pay for electricity. Of course, it’s a matter of calculation, but if you follow the discussions here, those prices seem sky-high — or not?
Is it better to get offers from other regions? Are there any recommendations around the 97XXX area?

At 30 degrees, I wouldn’t fully open to the north. At these prices, it’s just not worth it, right?! It depends on where electricity prices will go in the future. In the end, it's all speculation.
I would do it. :p

I would do it. :p Just calculate how high the electricity price would have to rise.

Have you tried asking in the specialized forum?
I’m not sure how busy they are, but I got a good offer there (while the local companies mostly didn’t respond due to lack of interest). I find the company from the specialized forum terrible. I asked over a year ago. I also received a very good offer. But that was the end of the communication. They didn’t respond at all to follow-up inquiries. And when appointments were scheduled, they were not kept.
Ask @TmMike_2. If you don’t live too far away, he might be able to give you an offer.
Get more offers from suppliers outside your region. Also check classified ads.
We are now building one as well. Originally planned with 17 kWp. Through the specialist forum, we were convinced to maximize everything and even to shorten and cover the wastewater vent pipe.
We have now purchased 37.4 kWp for about 1,150 EUR net per kWp all in.
It’s definitely worth comparing. Local providers reacted to us just like in your case: “Closed due to wealth,” “We can provide a consultation in 2024,” or no response at all.
