I think you also assumed a fixed optimal free-field angle of the panel for Holland. But mounting on the East of West side of a house will result in shadow on the solar panel, thus a much lower kWh energy production ... DIY install limits the costs to hardware-only costs. Financing costs for the system ruines your 'grid-partity' conclusion. Still subsidies would be necessary (or much higher conventional electricity prices) to make the financial picture OK. But did you ever make a complete financial evaluation when buying a new sofa or a new piece of furniture? Same for small solar systems: it adds to the quality of life for a few 1000 Euros. P.S. stay within the rules of your power company to prevent unnecessary costs like digital metering etc. Martin,
