The increase in electricity prices has led many Romanians to seek alternative sources that bring them lower costs.
Some are already mounted photovoltaic panelsand others are interested in the subject and document what expenses it entails.
This is the case of a Romanian woman who wants to know how long the investment actually pays off, as she asked Facebook.
“After all, how long do you think the investment can be recouped?” He wrote about the group AFM: greenhouse – photovoltaic.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get my investment back”
Most of those who answered him are of the opinion that, in fact, investment it is not recovering, while others are more optimistic.
“To calculate the depreciation you have to take into account several things: how much will the photovoltaic system cost you, will you have batteries or not, you will become prosumerhow many kwh will you consume directly from it (day) how many kwh will you consume from the network (at night) do you also have the heating in current or are you thinking of bringing the heating in current? “
“In about 20 years.”
“I consume about 1000 kwh per year, at the current price of 0.68 .. 680 lei + VAT. If you pay through home green 3000 lei + TVA, roughly 5 years. “
“At 1000kw / year, it doesn’t make sense in any kind of system. Now that AFM finance 3kw: it is too big a system for the consumption you have. “
“As a prosumer, maybe in 10 years at the current price and with a great condition, in these 10 years you will not have to invest anything in the system, if price the current will decrease, then 12 years, in other words the investment is not worth it, with all this fuss it is not worth it “.
“For those who think that the investment is fully recovered, I give them bad news, the investment in photovoltaics, especially in small ones up to 5 kw, very difficult those above 15 kw somewhere between 12-15 years. do whatever calculations you want, these investments are like all investments in cars, in everything you want, it depends on many causes, the goal of photovoltaics is to be independent, not to be at anyone’s mercy, this must be taken into account, not when I take off my investment.
My own opinion as a worker in the sector, installer of photovoltaic systems, is that we will not get out money never, personally I mount almost 16 kw with aq cell structure with 385 w full black aq cell panels, with an 8 kw goodwe 3-phase hybrid inverter, with a 12 kw battery from Bud and a goodwe 3-phase 8 kw inverter, injection only, and I don’t think I’ll ever get my investment back. “
“The payback is directly related to the price powerif it increases the period of time in which you recover your money it decreases rapidly, if it decreases this period it will increase (although I do not think we will return to the prices of 1-2 years ago). “
“Never, you paid for electricity in advance for 10 years, then everything changes laws and tariffs, unfortunately we do not choose any with great difficulty, this is how the system is and will be done “.
“Priced at 0.39kwh EA when it was, in about 8 years, at 1.6kwh EA as I have now, about 2.5 years, with an investment of € 20,000 for 20.9kw.”
