Cost Of A Solar System

The cost of a photovoltaic system

Solar System systems are affordable because its have a long time service. If you want to know more, you will find all relevant information here! Based on a current evaluation of more than 250 offers from solar engineers, we list the specific cost of a solar system, clearly sorted for small and large module.  

In addition, we take a look at the inherent price grading for PV systems, show you which price range is acceptable and which price factors you should pay attention to.

Cost Of A Solar System

Average photovoltaic costs

It's commonly known that small Solar System with low power are expensive than larger module. 

This can be seen in the costs per kWp, which result from the total and the performance of the system. 

Small Solar System with 3 to 4 kwp cost on average around $1,700 to $1,600 per kwp. 

Larger systems with 8 to 10 kwp are somewhat cheaper with $1,400 to $1,300 per kwp.

A system with 3 to 10 kwp (kilowatt peak) output has established itself as the usual size for private households. 

With 1 kwp PV power, you generate between 950 and 1,200 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. 

For this, the Solar System needs approx 8 square meters of roof area for the solar modules. 

A private Solar System for home use costs, depending on the size, from $5,400 to $13,300 (net plus tax) on average. 

The cost of installing and commissioning the system is included in the price.

How did the prices of Solar System develop?

Due to lower manufacturing costs and higher quantities, price developments in Solar System have long been characterized by falling prices. 

Since the manufacturing techniques have also been improved and the efficiency of the solar cells has increased, the areas required to produce one kilowatt hour have also been reduced. 

If you compare the different types of Solar System, you can see that prices are falling in all performance areas.

The prices for Solar System have fallen steadily in the past decades. 

This price trend was only briefly interrupted between 2002 and 2005 when, after a small increase, it stagnated. 

The prices of 15,000 euros per kilowatt output at the end of the eighties were more than ten times higher than at the beginning of 2020. 

The positive price development in Solar System makes an investment attractive. 

This development is related to the constant improvement of the manufacturing methods, through which the manufacture of solar systems is becoming easier and faster. 

Also because more and more providers are offering this energy of the future and increasing their capacities, the Solar System prices are becoming increasingly cheaper. 

The price of a Solar System depends on the desired performance. This is measured in kilowatt peak (kwp). 

A system with an output of around 4 to 5 kwp is usually installed to supply a detached house. 

Below we have listed the price some Solar System mostly used in Private Household or Outdoor Campaigns.
