Yes, indeed, once I saw the math/price, it seemed like a no-brainer to just install it. Anedoctal, of course, the rumour is a few (small-ish) companies here offer their complete services abroad in EU (at least to Germany to my knowledge), which makes it very cheap to install, but I did not interact with said companies.

I have friends in Germany and their solar (similar to ours, no batteries) installation cost more than double. At the time, it seemed expensive and out of reach...

EDIT: forgot to mention that there is a big solar installation boom here, our godfather has a small company which just installed two solar parks and waits for them to go into operation (which is harder than it sounds, due to bureaucracy).

EDIT 2: Just for fun, I've calculated todays price (retail price at the time of writing this) using Romanian prices:

- 22 solar panels (460w): 434.39 RON/panel [1]

- 8kW hybrid inverter: 4873 RON [2]

- 2 16kWh batteries: 17576 RON [3]

Total is 32009 RON, that is (at current exchange rate) 6088EUR. The rest is service (planning/execution), warranty and so on.
