Lowest $/W for SunPower system

[sensij]

I can get you sun power/enphase combo for less than $3.5/w but apparently I'm not allowed to give out my company name on an open source solar forum infested with advertisements for solar city

Why would anyone ever pair Sunpower with Enphase? The voltage isn't right... Enphase takes 48 V max, and the lowest SP panel I've seen has a 50.9 Voc. Even if you ignored that, clipping would be something nasty on the 327+ W panels of the last two generations. Anyone selling Sunpower+Enphase is trying to steal your money.

I am currently pricing out a 6Kw system in San Diego. So far I got a few quotes for LG/Enphase (3.4-4.0/Wt); one for Sunpower/SMA6000 (~$4/Wt). If I could find someone with Sunpower/Enphase at ~$3.5/Wt, I'd be interested.

Genesmasher: I'm at the start of pricing phase and received 2 proposals so far. Would you like to exchange proposal info?

That's kinda overpriced a little...

I've seen as low as $3.35 in the Phoenix area.

To be clear, was that before, or after tax credit, "friends & family discount" discount, for a dealer's own use, etc. ? Prepaid lease ? Did you see the contract ?

Basic price per watt on a 10kW system without any discounts or other funny business involved.

Would you kindly share type/brand/model of panels, inverter type/model & (optimizer/micro-inverter model)? This will help better understanding the great price got.

In Southern California I give my clients with shingle roofs around $3.4/w for sun power panels and enphase 250
Of course, there other contions that change
that number slightly up or down, electric panel upgrades, roof conditions and such...

Because of high voltage in cold climates, SunPower / Enphase is a combo that won't work in where temperatures can fall below -20C in winter. Instead, I went with ABB 0.25 micros that, with a little shopping around, ended up costing a lot less than the M250's.

If a deal can be found on discontinued SunPower gear; I'd go for it. FWIW, I took a chance on 42 used SunPower E18 all-black panels on Craigslist at $0.44/w. They work great and look awesome.

Even at $3.35 per watt this puts my 8.5 kw system yielding a cost of 28475 , now take off the federal 30% rebate that gives a $20000 cost. The interest (at 3%) on $20000 would be $600, yielding a savings of about $600 per year, giving a payback period of 33 years, 8 years beyond the best warranty

I was quoted a cost of $16,000 for my 8.5kw system, I am now wondering how this is possible.....

I have seen prices like that.
But have always been for end of life panels ( discontinued panels not used)
