Hi Cathy,

We don't make inverters so consider using any one by Trace.  The 10kW
would be fine.

On the price sheet, on p 2, any of the 10 kVA transformers, items 14-16,
would work for the above inverter.  The price is $1,109.  We don't have
enough information to specify one over another.

You could budget another $2-3,000 for wiring, combiner boxes,
disconnects depending on the final design.

We are going with the modules that are 48" x 25" x 2". They cost $175
each. It is my understanding that each module operates at 71 Vp and 43 Wp. If
we use 245 awnings on the building (we actually have 264), then we will
produce 10 kW of electricity. On this link, it says that a 360 VDC input/208 VAC
output inverter will cost $7000.00.

What would Solarex's inverter that you mentioned in this email cost? Or
was that only applicable to Integra installations?

Do we also need a price on an isolation transformer? What specs would we
look up to find the right one, OR can we ignore it for this project?

Cathy

Hi Cathy,
 
The cost of an MST-43 module would be approx $175 in large quantities.
That doesn't include installation.  
 
The cost of the inverter depends on the specific application.  As you
can tell, 245 microsine inverters would be much more expensive than one
large inverter.  You can use the cost of a 10kW inverter as an example.

 
I don't have a cost for an isolation transformer.  Its cost was lumped
into the cost of our inverter.  Maybe yours is.  I don't know.
