I am frugal, did much research and found on amazon.com 500 individual cell kit for about 400 with shipping, purchased diodes, controller from ebay, and inverter from donrowes.com, glass and plywood and other framing stuff from Lowes. prebuilt units run about $4-6 a watt, it appears my 900-1000 watt system will be costing just over $1-1.25 a watt, with labor spent soldering the cells together. In bright sunlight 35 cells per panel are producing 20volts 3.6 amps, that is a bit over a 60 watt panel, will end up with 14 of them ....youtube was a great source of assembling idea's.....oh all the prices do not include the batterys....also found a site to guage what size battery bank one would want to createak_wildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558538798994754076noreply@blogger.com
