PVPro Solar: Your Photovoltaic Specialist for Hildesheim

On-Site Planning Instead of a Standard Quote

We inspect your roof in Hildesheim on site: orientation, pitch, shading, structure and meter cabinet. We then size the system to your actual consumption and create a yield forecast you can base your decision on.

Brand Components We Know Well

We install modules from AIKO, JA Solar or Longi, Fronius inverters, BYD batteries on request and the K2 Systems mounting system. We get spare parts and manufacturer support for these components, which matters over the entire lifetime of your system.

Our Own Technicians and Grid Registration

Our own certified technicians handle installation and electrical work in line with VDE and TAB rules. We take care of registration with the grid operator (usually EVI Energieversorgung Hildesheim in the city, Avacon in large parts of the district) and in the Market Master Data Register for you.

PV, Battery, Wallbox and Heat Pump from a Single Source

Alongside the PV system, we install batteries, wallboxes and heat pumps and coordinate everything so that you use as much solar power yourself as possible. If you’re planning a heat pump later, we size the system for it now.

Fixed Price, 30/70 Payment and Service

You get a written fixed price and pay 30% on order and 70% only after installation. After commissioning, we remain your point of contact, with system monitoring and service even after the statutory warranty has expired.

Solar in Hildesheim: Key Facts at a Glance

Why Solar Pays Off in Hildesheim

Hildesheim offers good conditions for solar power. We calculate about 893 kWh per kWp per year in the region, so a 10 kWp system produces just under 9,000 kWh. The biggest benefit comes from self-consumption: every kilowatt-hour you use yourself replaces grid electricity, which is 37 cents at an assumed price of 37 ct/kWh. Power fed into the grid, by contrast, earns only about 7.70 ct/kWh.

What Does a Solar System in Hildesheim Cost?

Our guide price for the PV system is about €1,450–1,750 per kWp, including installation, registration and commissioning:

Supply and installation on or at residential buildings are subject to 0% VAT. You receive the exact fixed price for your roof in writing after the on-site visit. More details on our solar panel costs page.

Incentives You Can Use in Hildesheim

• 0% VAT on the system, battery and installation on residential buildings
• no income tax on the income from systems up to 30 kWp per residential unit
• EEG feed-in tariff of about 7.70 ct/kWh for systems up to 10 kWp since 1 August 2026, fixed for 20 years
• low-interest financing through the KfW 270 loan, which is a loan and not a grant

Funding in Hildesheim: as far as we know, there is no general grant for rooftop systems from either the city or the district of Hildesheim. Since October 2024, however, the city of Hildesheim has had its own guideline funding photovoltaic and solar thermal systems on, at or near listed buildings. Check with the city before placing your order whether funds are currently available.

Important: under the planned EEG amendment 2027, only systems commissioned by 31 December 2026 still receive the fixed tariff for 20 years. All funding options are explained on our page solar funding in Germany.

Grid Connection and the Old Town: What’s Special in Hildesheim

In Hildesheim, the responsible grid operator depends on your address. In the city and its surroundings, it’s usually EVI Energieversorgung Hildesheim, and in large parts of the district it’s Avacon. We clarify this before sending the quote and handle the registration for you.

Hildesheim has a historic old town with many listed buildings. If your house is listed or part of a protected ensemble, you need approval from the heritage protection authority before installation. Clarify this early, ideally before the on-site visit.

Which Roofs Are Suitable?

• south-facing gable roofs for the highest yield
• east-west roofs for more even generation across the day and more self-consumption
• flat roofs with mounting frames, for example on garages or commercial halls. Read more under solar installation on a flat roof

We check whether your roof is suitable during the free on-site visit, including structure, shading and meter cabinet.

How Your Project in Hildesheim Works

1. Enquiry: postcode, approximate annual consumption and whether you’d like a battery.
2. On-site visit: we check the roof, structure and meter cabinet.
3. Fixed-price quote: in writing, with the 30/70 payment model. You pay 70% only after installation.

Use More of Your Solar Power with Storage

Without storage, households typically use 25 to 35% of their solar power themselves, and around 55 to 70% with storage. Which size makes sense is explained on our page home battery storage.
