ᐅ Photovoltaics at Any Cost – Current Situation and Available Options

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?

Frozen Orange Juice and Pork Bellies

There is a type of person who likes to talk a crisis into existence. Or even longs for it. It’s purely about self-validation, because they’ve always known it and were laughed at for it…

Pork bellies would not be a good investment for me, as my assets would be "consumed"...

Where from? What is the service area? And most importantly: How many euros per kWp?
Can you just create nice drawings, or do you also do proper planning, for example using PVSOL?
How much capacity? Including scaffolding?
Up to the inverter, meaning you will still need an electrician?

When I see a post on this platform directly mentioning a company that is hardly known, I tend to suspect hidden advertising or something like that...

I have now received an offer from a company located nearby. 9.99 kWhp for 15,300 excluding VAT.

Is that okay?

I think so!

Does that include scaffolding as well as the wiring up to the electrical distribution board (HAR)?
