My system was for a 400 amp service on a pretty complicated plan.  The 
price included everything, including the modifications they did to the 
roof (which later they removed and redid.)

The company was 100% professional and worked amazingly.  Alot of the cost 
is in the panels (as you grow in size.)  This system is one of the 3 
largest in the country privately owned.  My friend up the road system's 
actually hit the limit of how large a private system can be.  His cost was 
less, but he did it a while ago and he did alot of the construction 
himself.

For my rental unit, it's a stand alone house that is slightly smaller than 
most, the entire system is about $25,000 and I have to pay about $3k of 
that. 

Both systems produce the maximum amount of energy based on usage (there is 
a limit to how big a system you can install.  It has to match your 12 
month total.)

My sister had a system installed on their house that generally provides 
more than they use.  Their system cost less than $10,000, and they have a 
pretty big house.  Most of the daylight hours they are selling power back 
to their electric company.


> My installation was priced at $138,000!  (That's no typo.)
