Robvoi79Hello everyone,
I want to have a photovoltaic system installed. It’s a mid-terrace house, with a storage battery and island (off-grid) operation.
I have now received an offer for a system with panels on the south and north sides.
I only have limited knowledge about this topic, so it would be great if someone with expertise could give a rough assessment of the offer.
Just whether it is generally okay and makes sense.
There is a “decision support” document and the offer itself. I have already noticed in the amortization calculation that the “price cap” for the electricity rate has not been considered.
Thank you in advance if anyone takes the time to answer my question.
Thanks
Robert

What condition is your meter cabinet in?
They are asking for 1380 and then another 2200 on top of that.
I find the payback calculation rather questionable.

There is still plenty of space in the meter cabinet. It’s quite large, and half of it is free.
I would still need to arrange an on-site inspection. The initial offer was based only on photos.
What also puts me off a bit is the staged payment. Then something might not be deliverable, and I would have already made a down payment.
He won’t be able to start construction before the middle of next year anyway. But I would have to make the down payments...
Regarding the payback period... if it even happens, I’ll be satisfied. The question is whether that will be the case.
