PV System with Battery: Is the Investment Worth It?

Three Household Types: Find the System for Your Consumption

Which system suits you primarily depends on your daily electricity consumption. Here are typical scenarios:

Small households often do best with smaller setups, thus avoiding unnecessary fixed costs. Savings potential varies individually for buildings of different sizes.

• Single household: small capacity for base load
• Family house: medium size plus storage
• Multi-family house: powerful system with storage

Modules and Inverters: Understanding Acquisition Costs

The costs of a PV system with a battery heavily depend on the chosen hardware. The inverter is the central element and its selection significantly determines the system's efficiency.

While a larger storage unit increases acquisition costs, it often enhances any incentives. The one-time payment significantly reduces the financial burden.

Incentives Significantly Reduce Your Net Investment

Government incentives markedly lower the expenses for a PV system in Switzerland. The combination of direct incentives and tax deductions improves the net calculation considerably.

Missing out on incentives means leaving money on the table. It's worth checking the specific bonuses in your canton.

Rising Electricity Tariffs Shorten the Amortization Period

Higher electricity tariffs shorten the amortization period of your PV system with battery. High self-consumption protects your budget from fluctuating electricity prices and ensures long-term yields.

The focus is on self-use, as feed-in tariffs decrease and independence from the grid becomes more attractive.

Repair Costs: What to Expect After Installation

Unexpected damages can lead to repair costs. Inverters and modules are critical components where defects may occur.

Regular inspections minimize the risk of failures and help maintain the system.
