Photovoltaics and plug-in solar systems: Financial experts give tips on calculating costs and returns

Photovoltaic system on the roof: costs and income at a glance

According to a report by rp-online.de, the energy advice from the North Rhine-Westphalia consumer advice center, in cooperation with the Wülfrath climate protection management, offers assistance on the most important questions about saving energy, using renewable energies and energy-efficient and climate-friendly renovation. The advice covers, among other things, the suitability of roofs for photovoltaic systems and the costs and returns that consumers can expect from installation.

Photovoltaic systems are an effective method of generating renewable energy while reducing electricity costs. The suitability of a roof for such a system depends on various factors, such as the orientation, inclination and shading of the roof. Professional advice can help consumers understand the potential and limitations of their own roof space.

The cost of a photovoltaic system is made up of various factors, including the size of the system, the quality of the components used and the cost of installation. At the same time, the income that consumers can achieve from energy production depends on the solar radiation in the region, the efficiency of the system and the current feed-in tariffs.

Advice from the NRW consumer advice center offers consumers the opportunity to make informed decisions regarding the installation of photovoltaic systems and to realistically assess potential costs and returns. This can help to further advance the expansion of renewable energies and give consumers the opportunity to actively contribute to the energy transition.
