That depends on the homeowner’s requirements. 😉
The price of the offer can only be assessed in relation to the final energy consumption (heating, hot water preparation, possibly ventilation, possibly cooling) based on a realistic consumption forecast.
Solar thermal systems are usually only truly effective on paper for single-family homes (primary energy).
Additionally, general contractor (GC) offers often meet the advertised efficiency standards only on paper. Considering the actual conditions, the result may only meet the minimum energy-saving regulations or even perform worse!
In other words, the building ends up being too expensive compared to the actual performance. This can amount to €10,000 or more.
In one specific example, the overpaid sales price was €46,000!
Prefab houses also frequently have issues with summer heat protection.

Best regards.
