GRD 1000 at normal price with larger inverter – extra $1630. This will permit you to add to the original system of 8 panels, 4 panels at a time, twice, until you have added 8 more panels. This will allow your total system to reach 2080 watts. Alter the GRD 1000 $13900 by adding 2 extra panels, extra racking and a larger inverter that lets you add 1 more panel at a time, until you reach 16. So you start with 10 panels, and can expand to 16 panels which gives you a 2080 watt system. The extra cost for this is $4220. Unlike the inverter in the first option, which gives no read out and needs to be internally mounted, this model gives a read out and can be externally mounted. and then if you go bp panels it get to be even more Supply, Installation & Commissioning of Solar Grid-connected Solar Power Systems We are pleased to offer a grid-connected solar power system for your house. 1K W Solar Energizer solar system $14,900 (6 x 165 watt BP Solar panels & 1700 watt inverter) Installation, subject to site inspection, including all electricians costs $3,000 Total installed system cost $17,900 Photovoltaic Rebate Program (PVRP) rebate - $7,920 BP Solar Enviro Cash Back - $ 495 Net out-of-pocket cost to you, after all rebates have been paid $9,495 Notes: 1.

We too have enough $$ to afford to be a bit more environmental. Also they are already talking about making the buy back 2 to 1 or even better so the money side of it could get better sooner than you think.

It doesn't look too pricey to go the upgraded inverter.
And that wireless gadget is awesome!

Re: Woohoo - we may get solar panels! 11Nov 04, 2007 11:23 am Remember to ask them about the carbon credits. I've been to the seminar on Photovoltaics and the speaker said that a few hundred bucks should be taken off the price for them.
