Cost Analysis of PV systems

The investment costs for a PV system vary depending on the size of the plant (kWp), the installation conditions and the quality / origin of the plant components. Smaller solar power plants (e.g. 3 kW) are more expensive than larger solar systems (e.g. 100 kW). Systems parallel to the roof are cheaper than elevated solar systems. Special solutions such as integrated into the roof or facade are more expansive because of the expense and the special components.
