Hello everyone,
After countless rejections due to overload, availability, and delivery issues, I have finally received an offer for a photovoltaic system.
The system is planned for our new build (completion in 2023). We have a gable roof, almost south-facing, with a 30-degree pitch, fully usable, about 50 sqm (540 sq ft) of roof area per side.
The house is being built in Bavaria, about 60 km (37 miles) from Thuringia.
The offer surprised me a bit. The following items are included:
14x MAXEON modules at 430 W each, heat pump system, totaling 6.02 kWp - €11,138
1x Tesla Powerwall 2.0, 13.5 kWh - €10,400
Installation, etc. - €3,130
Total: €24,668 net
I find that quite expensive. I would leave out the battery anyway, but even then, I think the price for the 6 kWp system is too high. Apparently, this is currently the price you pay in Bavaria if you can find someone at all. For me, the question is whether it even makes sense to invest right now or just pay for electricity. Of course, it’s a matter of calculation, but if you follow the discussions here, those prices seem sky-high — or not?
Is it better to get offers from other regions? Are there any recommendations around the 97XXX area?

I do!
Is scaffolding as well as the wiring up to the distribution board included?From what I can see in the offer, all electrical work is included. Scaffolding is included too, but they will likely need it only to a small extent since it’s for the garage.

I have now received an offer from a local company near here. 9.99 kWhp for 15,300 without VAT.
Is that okay?I’m buying a green car for 20,000 €. Is that okay? :-) You should provide more information. Which modules, including scaffolding, full black, power optimizers?

Neubau 2022, your comment is absolutely valid. However, general statements and requests like those from gmt94 are unfortunately quite common.
