Totally efficient:A photovoltaic system with PowerMax® modules.
Investing in an AVANCIS photovoltaic system is a smart move on two levels: not only will you be investing in a high-quality German product with a long performance warranty, but you will also be acquiring a capital asset supported by government assistance schemes, which will produce CO2-neutral power on a long-term basis.
It really adds up.
A photovoltaic system featuring PowerMax® modules not only facilitates the long-term protection of natural resources, it also pays for itself in a very short space of time – practically at the speed of light. Our sample calculation shows just how profitable a photovoltaic system really is, not to mention how it can be within everyone's financial reach. Thanks to government assistance schemes you can even fund your system without spending a penny of your own money. The example below assumes that your own capital contribution will be 10 percent – this investment pays for itself within 12 months of the system being put into operation.
