The investment needed
Every rooftop is designed in a different way. Please contact your local installer for a cost plan. Ask for a turn key price, which both you and your installer can rely upon. Differences in price of serious offers are based on different equipment, product quality and/or services included. Of course we suggest quality made in Germany.
Installing an average facility with a power of 3.5 kWp takes approximately 2 days with an installation team (2 assembly fitters+ 1 helper). The electrician has to connect the system to the in-house network and the energy supplier has to install the input counter. If there is room for the additional input counter in the electric meter cabinet, costs for the network connection should be less than EUR 500.
Heckert Solar offers for its high performance solar modules a performance guarantee of 25 years while the average lifespan of photovoltaic modules "Made in Germany" is said to be between 30 and 40 years. Whether a facility has a long lifespan or not is determined to a great extent by the quality of material which is used to mount the modules and a professional installation. One of the most important features of solar power technology is that power is generated without the use of any moving parts that might be subject to mechanical wear and tear. This means that photovoltaic facilities almost never need to be maintained or repaired so that operating and maintenance costs are very low. Regular meter-readings of the electric meter is important so that possible malfunctions can be recognized and dealt with at an early stage.
