    Though heat pumps are still quite expensive in Germany. An installation for a single-family home including solar panels and battery can easily cost North of 30,000 EUR, which is up to three times the cost of the hardware. In theory, it should be a gigantic business opportunity to provide heat pump installation services there from Danish, Netherlands, or Polish companies.

      A reasonable sized solar power system with around 10kWp and 10kWh battery costs at least 16k€ in Germany when done by a professional. Depending on your power consumption in general this can be a bad investment even with a heat pump. Therefore I would separate this from the costs of a hwat pump, since it is not strictly required. Especially since you can get energy plans selling power for ~26ct/kWh.

        Ridiculously expensive when you compare to the prices of balcony solar systems which are just plugged intoa wall socket.
