Hello all,
I just registered to your informative forum today. I've been lurking for a few days, trying to learn as much as I can before making an investment this large. Now looks like the best time to purchase. Prices are low. Who knows what will happen with the incentives after 2016.
I'm in Montana. We're looking to install a 6khw ground/pole mounted grid tied system. We've had the local solar company out for a site analysis. The owner/contractor/installer has been super to work with thus far. He's very patient and explains things thoroughly. His initial estimate using 24 REC panels and a Fronius inverter is $18,300 ($3.10/watt). Final out of pocket should be $11,810 ($1.97/watt). From what I'm reading here, that's very reasonable price.
I've also asked for two more quotes just to see how much the SunPower (most likely wont go with but am curious on the price) and Sun World panels will increase the cost.
Here's my site. South is on a line from the center of the photo to the left hand side of the garage. I'm not attached to any of the trees in this area. Anything that casts a shadow will be leveled.
Right now I'm wondering if there is any benefit to going with a transformerless inverter?
Cheers!
