Hello everyone,

we have received the first offer for our planned photovoltaic system. What do you think about it? Are the materials good and is the price reasonable at the moment? The house is currently under construction.
Roof pitch 35 degrees, east-west orientation.

Best regards

5 components: PV module, inverter, storage, surge protection, mounting system; total value

It’s not exactly cheap.

Can the roof hold more weight? For an east-west orientation, anything under 12 seems quite low to me.

More could fit on the roof. The roof area is 5.5*11.73 meters (18*38.5 feet) per side (minus one roof window on one side only). How much makes sense? I don’t have any experience yet with our house’s energy consumption (with a heat pump). We are still living in an apartment.

Is there anything very cheap available? I’m glad to get any offers at all.

Modules and inverters can still be somewhat understood or justified as to why they might be more expensive, but especially items 5 and 6 are pure rip-offs.

And item 3 is not just cheeky; I suspect it already falls under usury laws :-(

-> Battery around 500€ per kWh (worth it?), up to 1,000€ per kWh is normal, 2,000€ per kWh is daylight robbery.

Installation, as @halmi already said, is incredibly overpriced! 5,000€ net is about 8 workdays. Either your roof is extremely complicated and difficult, or they are using massive gold-plated cables for the wiring.
The modules are also slightly overpriced, and the inverter is okay. Please share some clear pictures of your roof.

The roof has no overhangs or special features. Attached are the cross-section and the floor plan of the attic, showing the measurements. We will not be using the storage areas, no interest in them.
Understood, the total price is too high. What is a reasonable price per kWp (net) in the current market? Region Niederrhein.
