We had an outdoor Schuko socket installed, connected with 5x2.5 mm². In the box, it is protected three-phase with its own RCD. Initially, only one phase of the Schuko was used; the cost was around 150 euros. We have since been able to connect a wallbox with 11 kW to it (22 kW would require a thicker cross-section).Thank you in advance for your answers. I don’t plan to install a wallbox for the time being. I will have a plug-in hybrid soon, but it can also be charged overnight using a normal socket, right? The "preparation" is only about the empty conduits to the starting point, correct? The cables and the wallbox itself would then be the final installation, right?
The developer charges almost 5,000 euros for a fully installed wallbox. That’s too expensive for me and I (currently) don’t need it.
A photovoltaic system is definitely planned for the future. If I don’t commission the "preparations," will it be significantly more expensive later on?
For photovoltaics: the electrician was commissioned to install an empty conduit, M32, which he ran with some surplus from the distribution board to under the roof covering. We also commissioned the roofer to install the conduit through the roof covering in a second step and to seal it at the top with a sealed sleeve. The total cost was also around 150 euros.
If you need more than one string later (one per roof side or roughly every 50 m²), get a thicker conduit or even two right away. And make sure the electrician does not make the bending radii too tight.
