Nils from @sonnefreihaus and I have analyzed the current market situation on the solar market. Prices for solar modules have fallen significantly due to the strong Asian influence. A good solar module now costs around 100 euros, whereas a year ago it was 200 euros. The technology has also evolved, with more powerful modules and more efficient inverters that now offer more functions and often do not require fans. While the modules have become cheaper, roof mounting remains a significant cost. In addition, storage technologies have also improved. Smart storage systems that take over energy management and can adapt to dynamic electricity prices are on the rise. The prices of these storage systems are now around 570 euros per kilowatt hour, which is significantly cheaper than the 1000 euros a year ago. These intelligent systems are particularly useful because they can help relieve the load on the grid while reducing your own energy costs. One trend to watch out for concerns dynamic electricity tariffs and sector coupling. Thanks to better energy management systems, it is becoming increasingly easier to optimally control different energy sources and consumers in order to both save costs and relieve the strain on the grid. This could also influence future remuneration structures. Although it is not certain how long feed-in tariffs will continue to exist, you should not let yourself be pressured into making hasty decisions. This comprehensive overview will help you make informed decisions about solar systems and storage in order to save costs in the long term and live more sustainably.
