You might also want to check out the DOE's "Solar Powering Your Community" document: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/pdfs/47692.pdf And this page has a decent graphic breaking down BOS soft costs: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/sunshot/nonhardware_costs.html And if you want more info / help one of these guys (like the Arizona team or the Optiny team) might be interested: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/sunshot/rooftop_challenge.html For a brighter energy future, Andrew Truitt NABCEP Certified PV Installerâ„¢ (ID# 032407-66)**** Principal Truitt Renewable Energy Consulting, LLC**** (202) 486-7507 LinkedIn Profile <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-truitt/8/622/713> Company Website <http://truittreconsulting.weebly.com/> <%28202%29%20486-7507>**** "Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!" ~William McDonough On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 6:17 PM, Allan Sindelar < al...@positiveenergysolar.com> wrote: > A bill has been introduced in our 60-day state legislative session to > direct our statewide licensing agency to develop a consistent set of > permitting standards for PV systems.
