ᐅ Is installing a photovoltaic system on my roof worthwhile for me?

Solar panels are now commonly seen on roofs everywhere, which gave me the idea to possibly install a system on my own house. The roof has a 35-degree pitch facing southeast, and about 12 solar panels would fit. I could get them very cheaply for around 5000 euros. The question is whether it is cost-effective. The three of us use about 4000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. After how many years would the system pay for itself?

The entire concept needs to be considered here. In the short term, a solar system is not financially worthwhile, I am sure of that. But when I look to the future, it is definitely a good alternative.

As for subsidies and taxes, that should be assessed by a professional.

I also believe that renewable energy will increasingly take center stage. Solar energy plays an important role for us as well.

Whether it is financially worthwhile cannot be answered in general terms. It is necessary to consult a local energy advisor.
