Hi, This puts things in a nice perspective for non mobile installations.
Forum Discussion
The key word is "non mobile". Very different from RV installations.
With 500W system on RV you'll pay, say, $1,200 parts cost with inverter. Alright, add $500 for installer, total $1,700. This would include maybe $80 or 5% in cables (before and after controller), and few bucks worth of "racking" - aluminum stock for mounting brackets.
In shore installations they use term "inverter" for what is in fact inverter-charger. Most shore users don't know what "inverter" in itself means.
