What a solar system costs in BiH

Price per kW, what's inside it, why small systems cost more per kilowatt, and which line items to compare between quotes.

5 min readPublished

A turnkey household system in BiH runs roughly 2,050–2,600 KM per installed kilowatt, and smaller systems cost more per kilowatt because the fixed costs — site visit, scaffolding, design, connection — are spread over fewer kilowatts.

What's in the price

ItemShareNote
Panels45%The largest line, and the one falling in price fastest.
Inverter18%The one part you will almost certainly replace before the panels.
Mounting12%Depends on roof type; a flat roof needs ballast or penetrations.
Installation20%Electrical work, cabling, protection, commissioning.
Permits and connection5%Paperwork and the distributor's consent.

What to compare between quotes

  1. Whether the price includes VAT, and whether connection and paperwork are in it.
  2. Product warranty versus power warranty on the panels — these are two different things.
  3. Workmanship warranty, and who turns up if the inverter stops in year three.
  4. What production is promised and on what basis — ask which irradiation source it came from.
