Joe (BALLSAC) pointed me in the direction of this thread. Having a read through now there are quite a few misconceptions about PV systems.
Also quite surprised at the cost of some of these systems.
Really for a high-quality 3kW system with Canadian Solar panels (250W) and either a Sunny Boy SMA or Aurora 3kW inverter, you shouldn't be paying any more than $8,500 fully installed.
If you're only getting 190W panels, $7,500 fully installed is the price you should be aiming for (even with either of those two inverters).
This isn't designed as a commercial post, but obviously I work in the industry and those are the prices we are able to do. I don't like seeing people get ripped off in the car scene...
Pretty happy to answer any questions anyone might have regarding the PV systems.
