And what does the installation cost, surely not included at that price?

All in all, that would be about 5,000€ too expensive for me. But that’s how it is when you don’t have or get other offers, and you really want to build it that way, you probably have no choice.

Really, you think that’s expensive? I have almost no comparison offers. I’ve only seen one invoice from my sister, but that was only photovoltaics without storage, and they were similarly priced. But that was still at the offer level before the war (it was commissioned early 22).

The offer from the sister company still included 19% VAT on the components and was probably also quite expensive "back then". However, component prices are currently in free fall (of course, if SMA is supposed to be on the inverter, expensive and waiting time, you take Huawei instead). 1 kWh of storage capacity now costs around €250, if a fancy name is attached €500. Don’t let yourselves be fooled... in case of doubt, I would actually postpone the construction of the system rather than jumping on gold diggers now. But this discussion can be had with every trade. With the difference that photovoltaics or parts of it (storage) can also be easily retrofitted.

The crux also lies in the features and quality. Surplus charging, blackout capability, type of battery cells, expansion options, durability, etc.

Those who "only" want electricity without many desires can shop very cheaply again. Prices have fallen massively.

Okay, that surprises me. I had rather perceived it as cheap, but I only have a rough gut feeling from various internet forums I skimmed through. I can’t really justify it solidly. We naturally tend strongly towards photovoltaics because we also switched to an electric vehicle. Since we work remotely and wouldn’t drive much, we would like to almost exclusively charge from surplus. The possibility to drive around with 8ct/kWh is of course very tempting. :) So, we need the wall box at least anyway, but of course we would prefer to charge at 8ct rather than with the grid provider’s access point. But that only makes sense if the whole system had a reasonable price. If you buy the photovoltaic system too expensive at 5k, you can drive for a long time.
