smk,
You may be right about the 45's. His proposal is for 720W+ with 3 panels and the 45 has a 600W limit. Add flat mounting, northern latitudes and controller derating could make it workable.
Even with the savings he's to close to the budget for just the panels and controllers. With installation he might make the budget for 4 panels. And unless he can find a location for the second controller that also eliminates 6 panels.
