Yesterday our photovoltaic storage system was put into operation. The installer said that now we would have to pay at least the net price for the system that we previously paid as a gross price, so 20% more.
There are apparently no rails or aluminum systems at all; they all come from Russia. The manufacturer has cut 60% of the ordered storage units for this year. Offers are only available for installation next year and with price adjustment clauses.
That is just an excuse to rip people off; last week 11,000 euros for 8 kW plus rails, cables, etc., including an inverter from Huawei. Installation is done by ourselves; the acceptance is done by our company’s external electrician. Yes, he is allowed to do it.
But as long as people pay 30,000 euros for 10 kW because they are afraid, unfortunately it won’t get cheaper.
They charge 430 euros for 100 meters of cable. That is fraud.
Or 3,500 euros for installation plus another 500 euros for connection, and at the very bottom there is still a fee of 350 euros for registration.
By the way, in December I paid only 8,200 euros for 10 kW with K2 rails and a Kostal inverter.
Unfortunately, the battery is not deliverable, although I tried to dissuade my buddy from buying it.
And to invest the 6,000 euros in additional modules instead.
The system has been running since December. All installation done by ourselves.
