Solar panels on roofs are an investment of 100.00s of kronor // Solar heating panel also called Air Sun Catcher from Solkungen which is mounted on the house wall and costs 4495kr to 5795kr

Price Solar panels

The prices of solar cells, solar panels, solar collectors, solar thermal panels and solar air collectors vary widely. Most important, however, is affordability, the price for the kWh obtained. For solar thermal panels and solar air collectors, cold weather performance is crucial for affordability. For solar cells, it is easier to compare the price as most of them have a similar output regardless of the weather, solar thermal panels and solar air collectors, on the other hand, have crucial differences in annual output and price.

Good guarantees are important

The warranty is of course also an important aspect, as the price of solar cells, solar panels, solar collectors, solar thermal panels and solar air collectors can turn out to be high over time if the warranty conditions are modest or complicated. Solar cells and solar collectors have roughly the same warranty, but for solar thermal panels and air collectors the differences are significant. The fan is an important component of air collectors and solar thermal panels, the longer the lifetime, the higher the fan quality.

Supplementary auxiliary heating

As the vast majority of houses and premises have a cost for heating, which is thermostatically controlled, i.e. the heating system switches on at a certain minimum temperature, the savings are significant if a solar thermal panel or air collector can contribute with auxiliary heat. Especially if the solar thermal panel also performs well in sub-zero temperatures and variable cloudiness. Most solar thermal panels on the market, unlike Solkungens, do not perform well in non-optimal conditions.

Solar thermal panels / Air collectors have superior efficiency

The price of solar cells means that they are not cost-effective for heating because of their low efficiency per square meter, which is up to four times higher for solar air collectors. When comparing the price of solar cells, solar panels, solar air collectors or solar thermal panels, it is therefore crucial whether it is electricity (for lighting, fridge/freezer, etc.) or heat that is sought.

Year-round dehumidification

In addition to the kWh savings, well-designed solar air collectors and solar thermal panels also contribute to dehumidification if the exhaust air is properly warmed and if there is a large temperature difference between the supply and exhaust air.

Air collectors you can assemble yourself

The cost, or price, of solar cells, solar thermal collectors, air collectors and solar thermal panels is also largely dependent on the installation and various regulations. Solar King air collectors and solar thermal panels have a simple do-it-yourself installation and require few tools, unlike rooftop solar panels that often require external help and have a completely different price picture.
