How much does a photovoltaic system cost?
Solar systems offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to generate energy. However, the associated costs often pose a barrier to adopting this technology. Prices can vary significantly depending on the type of system required and where it is purchased.
The most cost-effective way to acquire a solar system is through self-installation. However, this approach is typically time-consuming and requires a solid understanding of electricity and solar technology. For those who lack the time or interest in building their own system, purchasing a pre-assembled unit is an alternative. While usually the most expensive option, it is also the most convenient and user-friendly.
What factors influence the cost of a photovoltaic system?
If you decide to purchase a pre-assembled solar system, several factors come into play:
- The size of the facility: The larger the system, the higher the price.
- The type of solar cells: These differ in efficiency and thus also in cost. Mono- or multicrystalline cells are somewhat more expensive than amorphous cells, but they are also more efficient.
- The location of the solar installation: If you want to install your system in a place where there is a lot of sunshine (like on the roof), the price will be lower than in places with less sun (for example in the garden). The reason for this is that more solar energy is needed to generate the same amount of electricity.
- Brand of the solar system: There are many different manufacturers of solar systems with different prices. It is therefore worth comparing different offers before deciding on a purchase.
The costs for a small system with an output of less than 10 kW are around 3000 euros. For a medium-sized system with an output of between 10 kW and 100 kW, the costs hit around 5000 euros per watt. A large plant with an output of over 100 kW can cost up to 10 000 euros per watt.

What types of photovoltaic systems are there?
Depending on the user's needs, there are different types of photovoltaic systems. Each system comes with different costs.
- Some systems can be connected to large buildings or houses to generate electricity from the sun.
- Other systems can be mounted on fixing poles and should be placed in areas with a good sunlight input.
- Portable photovoltaic systems can be transported to any location and are ideal for people who do not have access to electricity grids or settle in energy-poor areas due to limited resources. Portable photovoltaic systems are also ideal for outdoor activities and camping trips.
- Hybrid photovoltaic systems: This system combines solar cells and wind energy in one component system and allows the user to generate energy from both sources simultaneously. Hybrid systems are extremely efficient and powerful and can help reduce the energy demand of any building. After all factors have been considered, one must look at what material to use for the installation.
