As a principle: Ventilation does not cool. And an air conditioner does not ventilate.

Whether there are combination devices, I do not know and I do not want to discuss that.

About 1000 to 1400 per kWp. After 14-15 years, you have earned the money back. The subsidy lasts 20 years. It's practically always worth it. The bigger, the better in every respect: shade, absolute and relative profit, more electricity in winter for own use than with a small system. You can find a lot of information on the internet. If necessary, take out a loan to be able to build bigger.

A study by Creaton says otherwise. Nowadays you can easily find confirmations for almost any theory. Yes, there can be – a Norwegian system from Sun-Net works without damaging the roof membrane. Roughly calculate 1000€ - 1500€ for 1 kWh – also very general. KFW supports with a loan for the system and a grant for the storage. With proper sizing > 10 years (again very general) Small business status from 10 kWp – beyond this limit, you would also have to pay the energy levy. Questions that will help you further: How much electricity do I consume in which month? What is the typical load distribution over 24 hours? (you can measure this for a few days) How high is the "base load" in the house? --> Which consumers are always running with what power demand, e.g. refrigerator, air conditioning in summer?!? From this, you can then fairly well determine which system size makes sense, whether single-phase or three-phase, and with or without storage. You have enough roof area. The standard modules are high-voltage systems. I would not place something like that directly over rooms where I stay constantly. The sources on the internet all support these views – I therefore label this as opinion and not as a "scientifically" justified concern. And one more thing: The house will hardly be cooler with the modules on the roof. That was the goal, right?

Ok, thanks for the info!! The thing with the high voltage scares me off a bit at first. The idea of photovoltaics, that it pays off and contributes to lowering the electricity costs of an air conditioner, sounded interesting at first. So I’ll just take care of one air conditioner for now, I think. It will certainly be expensive enough...
