I think I'm going to give up on the whole photovoltaic project... it's just so frustrating how people try to take advantage of others... just because photovoltaic systems are "trendy" right now.

I agree with @netuser. There are plenty of reasonable offers available. I can also highly recommend ClenSolar – affordable (maybe not the cheapest, but offering good performance) and reliable.

Thank you all, I just spoke with ClenSolar and will provide them with the data to receive a quote.

Just forget the romance with the local specialist company next door. Photovoltaics is a volume business. The mentioned forum and the companies represented there have a solid reputation and operate partly across Germany. We ourselves were extremely satisfied with sunforfree (Troisdorf); the distance was absolutely no issue. Installing a bungalow is really no big deal.

Romance? Good quality, good price from the local specialist.

The modular installation is straightforward, I agree. When it comes to laying cables, though, you can run into more challenges, and connecting a battery storage system requires careful attention. Customers often don’t even notice when the charging capacity is limited by the battery management system (BMS) simply because 30€ was saved on wiring in a small area.

Double the price, same performance. Yes, that's what I call romance.

A higher price does not guarantee better quality.

I consider the artificial support of non-competitive offers to be economically questionable. Ultimately, it is a form of subsidy.

That’s true.

My experience, however, has been that good quality at a fair price can be found locally. Your general statement "local = expensive" is simply incorrect.
