The cost of installing a PV system depends on the size of the system, the type of modules and the complexity of the roof. In general, you can expect an investment of several thousand euros. But don't worry: thanks to government funding programs and our flexible financing options from 2025 (0% down payment and monthly installments from €69), getting started with solar energy will be affordable for everyone. In addition, there are long-term savings on electricity costs that more than offset the investment.

Yes, solar systems also work on cloudy days. Although the energy yield is lower, modern solar modules are so efficient that they can generate electricity even when the light is weaker. Especially in countries like Germany and Austria, where the weather can be changeable, photovoltaic systems are still an excellent choice for electricity production.

A solar system is almost maintenance-free. The modules have a lifespan of 25 to 35 years and generally do not require extensive maintenance. Occasional cleaning of the modules can help maintain efficiency, especially in heavily polluted areas. And if a technical problem does occur, we are always there for you with our comprehensive warranty and maintenance offers.

At Solarvie, we offer various financing models to make the switch to solar energy possible for everyone. From January 1, 2025, you can even finance your installation without a down payment and with monthly installments starting from €69. This way, you can directly benefit from the savings from your PV system without having to make large initial investments.

The payback period for a PV system is usually between 5 and 10 years, depending on the size of the system, power consumption and local electricity prices. Thanks to government subsidies and the significant savings in electricity costs, you can often recoup your investment faster than you think. We support you with an individual calculation so that you know exactly when your system will pay for itself.
