Return on investment time - real calculations
The payback period for a 300L solar system depends on many factors that our team of experts carefully analyzes when selecting the optimal solution. As experienced suppliers of solar systems, we see that the return on investment usually occurs within 6-10 years.
Factors affecting the payback time
- Hot water consumption - the higher it is, the faster the return
- Current heating costs - higher bills mean greater savings
- Location of the installation - the south side of the roof provides optimal efficiency
- Type of existing heat source - the fastest return with electric heating
A well-designed system can cover 60-80% of the annual demand for domestic hot water. For an average family of 4-5 people, this means savings of 1,500 - 2,500 PLN
annually, depending on current energy prices.
Example of return calculation for a 5-person family
- Installation cost with installation: 16,000 PLN
- Annual savings: 2,200 PLN
- Payback time: about 7.5 years
- Savings after 20 years: over 28,000 PLN
Available subsidies and tax reliefs
Investing in solar sets can be supported by various forms of funding, which significantly shortens the payback period. Our team of advisors will help you obtain maximum benefits from available support programs.
Forms of financial support
- Thermal modernization relief - deduction of up to 53,000 PLN from tax (19% of the investment value)
- Local programs - municipal subsidies up to 40% of costs
- "Clean Air" program - funding for eligible households
- Reduced VAT 8% - when purchasing with installation
Utilizing available subsidies can shorten the payback period by 2-3 years. In practice, this means that the 300L solar set can pay off after just 4-5 years of use.
