Commercial & industrial rooftop
30 kWp – 1 MWp
€600 – €900 / kWp
Most C&I rooftops land here; structure condition and cable runs drive the spread.
EPC
How Much Does a Solar Installation Cost?
Indicative 2026 EPC price ranges for commercial, industrial and utility-scale photovoltaic projects in the EU, and the factors that actually move the budget.
The honest answer is a range, not a number: the cost of a turnkey photovoltaic installation depends on scale, site conditions and grid connection more than on the panels themselves. Below are the indicative ranges we quote against in 2026, so you can budget before requesting a formal EPC offer.
Indicative turnkey EPC ranges (2026)
Ground-mounted / solar park
500 kWp – 10 MWp
€450 – €700 / kWp
Scale lowers unit cost; land works and grid connection distance drive the spread.
Carport & specialised structures
project-specific
€900 – €1,400 / kWp
Steel structure dominates the budget; bifacial modules often improve the case.
Ranges are indicative for EU projects contracted in 2026, excluding VAT and grid-operator fees. Your site can sit outside them. That is exactly what the free preliminary assessment establishes.
The six factors that move your budget
System size
Unit cost falls as capacity grows: a 1 MWp rooftop is materially cheaper per kWp than a 100 kWp one.
Roof or land condition
Reinforcement, membrane age, soil works or long cable runs are the most common budget movers.
Grid connection
Distance to the connection point and operator requirements can range from trivial to project-defining.
Equipment class
Tier-1 modules and established inverter platforms cost more upfront and repay it in yield and warranty terms.
Electrical scope
Transformer stations, switchgear upgrades or monitoring integration extend the electrical budget.
Market timing
Module and inverter pricing moves quarter to quarter; a fixed-price EPC contract locks your exposure.
What payback looks like
For commercial self-consumption projects in the EU, typical simple payback in 2026 sits between 4 and 7 years, driven by your electricity price and self-consumption share. Projects with daytime-heavy load profiles do best. A formal proposal includes a production estimate and payback calculation for your actual consumption.
