Hello,
That’s true, moreover it is pointless in the presented combination.
If you assume a "usual" GBR/Solar, that is a bold statement; it decisively depends on the position of the house relative to the sun. Theoretically it is possible, in practice rather very rare. Often additional measures have to be taken.
Rhenish greetings
Of course it’s not always easy, but if you have prioritized thermal insulation and efficiency from the ground up with your construction company/architect, KfW70 should also be achievable with gas/solar. If the roof is positioned unfavorably and hardly gets any sun, that of course is a different matter ;)
Regarding my heating cost estimate, about 3,300 kWh per year are needed for heating + hot water. 63% of the hot water is covered by the solar system. Since I like it to be 24 °C warm and there is also constant ventilation, I assume about 5,000 kWh.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s 400 or 600 euros, an investment of over 30,000 euros can hardly ever pay off, even if the heating costs would fall to 100 euros per year.
