As a DIY I paid $1450 for 750W in 2014 for all of the parts including UV wires, aluminum for mounting and SS screws and bolts, etc. This included a high end Morningstar MPPT 60 controller. All panels in series which provides much better shade performance than parallel panels, but that is a whole different topic.
For shaded conditions parallel is superior. In series shading one one panel affects all the panels. In parallel it only affects the shaded panel.
The advantage to series connection is that you will have a higher voltage with less amperage. Less amperage means you can run smaller wires with the same voltage drop as parallel with larger cables.
Here is an interesting video showing the difference. Per also has some pretty interesting videos of his Tesla powered RV.
