Contemporary electricity production harnessing photovoltaic systems

Investing in a solar energy system makes sense, both from a financial and from an environmental standpoint. State subsidies and incentives for energetic measures are available.

Affordable purchase: VAT is currently not levied on the components of a solar energy system, which applies to photovoltaic modules, inverters and electricity storage systems.

State subsidy: In many federal states and municipalities, funding programs are available for a new photovoltaic system or for upgrading an existing one, which is worthwhile as it lowers the investment costs.

Savings effect: Using self-generated electricity from a photovoltaic system is far cheaper than buying it in from the grid – so self-consumption pays off. An additional source of funds comes from feeding surplus electricity into the grid. As soon as the solar energy system has paid for itself, the energy used may even cost nothing at all.

Climate compatible: electricity sourced from solar energy is climate compatible and does not generate any emissions. Homeowners are therefore able to reduce their environmental footprint.

Selfio sells all of its products directly but mainly online. The company offers its customers free advice and a comprehensive service with precise instructions to make DIY work easier for them.
