Just buy the system and tick it off "for the environment." If it still turns out to be profitable, even better.

In the end, it doesn't matter whether 200 euros are saved per year or if the decision "for nature" cost an additional 100 euros.

Everything will revolve around that framework.

One enjoys playing with numbers and has fun calculating, the other does not.

One wants to invest money (with a pleasant environmental protection aspect), the other wants to do something for the environment (without profit intention).



No, you save much more; in my sample calculation over 20 years about 10,000 €, so about 500 € per year.

But you do realize that if you get an offer for a photovoltaic system, you also receive a qualified yield and return calculation?

I know that when I get an offer for a photovoltaic system, I will most likely receive a non-qualified yield and return calculation.

Examples:

    [*]Own consumption share set unrealistically high at 43%.
    [*]Electricity price increase set very high at 5% (1998-2018 average 2.7%)
    [*]No or only minimal maintenance and repair costs included
    [*]Value added tax for own use not included
    [*]Income tax not included
    [*]Values for payable value added tax as well as maintenance and repair costs indicated but not considered in the return calculation.

Furthermore, calculating yourself is always better to gain an understanding of the matter. You can also try different scenarios to see how the numbers change under different assumptions.

If those are the statements of your solar installers/your consultations, then you should actually calculate yourself.

My yield calculations of the solar installer come without such smoke and mirrors.

Self-consumption 43%? Was that promised to you like that?

I was presented with the following profitability calculations
1) Self-consumption of 3750 kWh or 43%
2) Self-consumption of 2900 kWh or 34%
I consider about 20% to be realistic for us (see Volker Quaschning/HTW Berlin)





But why should the solar installers bother to calculate as realistically and accurately as possible. 90% of customers can’t verify it anyway. And the remaining 20% also find it difficult.
