Ron & Bion:
I wonder if you (or anyone else) would be willing to take a
stab at the following questions. I know you have differing ideas on these topics
but I like the spread in numbers.
1. Are you able to ballpark the % of costs which is labor vs
materials?
2. When sizing, you use 2KWp. Is this KW peak? Will you ever
get the full 2KW? Would you get more at a higher sunnier site?
3. I assume the costs will be higher for an offgrid system due
to the costs of batteries, perhaps a generator, etc.
4. How large a system would you need for an offgrid situation?
I know this varies by a lot, so I'm asking what you yourself feel you would need
to operate your home and a fairly intense home office (copy machine included). I
suspect hot water would be solar with propane back-up, cooking would be propane,
heating would be solar/propane.

costs
Ron - tisk tisk --- here we go again on costs.
They
will vary a lot by location and regional knowledge base.
In Maine -- and N
England in general -- there is much solar implementation
expertise.
Example (not New England, but Mid- Atlantic) see 2 kWp
system at:

Cost
fully installed, grid intertie BP Solarex Millennia panels, power conditioner
by Omnion, feed-wire, J-boxes, ground mount, etc. under $6.00 / Wp.
