$10/W DC is the high average price (not cost) for 3 to 5 kW residential
batteryless grid-tied PV systems. $7.50/W is the medium average price for 1
MW commercial ground mounted fixed mount or single-axis tracking array PV
systems. What is the $1,000,000/MW for?

Yes, that's right. I think it still is...
Pardon if my question to you came off as something more than general. Not
to meant to challenge.
Let me put it another way. I've heard a couple of PPA providers tell me
to
plan on having $1M dollars in the project budget per MW of PV you want to
connect to the grid. Would you agree?
Still curious about WA state feed-in tariff, just wondering if any
wrenches
in Washington know about it.
Roger, have you been involved with wind power/wind farms in this range?
If
so, what are the costs/kw to get on grid you see there? And also
curious:
what are the acres involved per MW in average wind farms?

I thought this was just a general question, not a cost/price discussion.

Really? I would think the word would be INcluding. Joel, can you say
"$1M
per MW" for grid connection work alone like most everyone in the
utility-scale biz?? This adds at least $1/Wp taking up time/man-hour
costs,
feasibility/system impact studies with the IOU, WECC, WREGIS, CAISO, and
all
costs related to getting to the point of the on-the-grid queue-in and PV
kwh's being counted and paid for. If you've got re-conductoring or new
lines going on for anything over half a mile, might think about $2 to
$3/Wp
additional to base of $4 to $6.5/watt all EPC/turnkey, plus the $1/watt
grid
connection costs. MW+ system size switchgear/transformers, etal ain't
cheap
either.
By the way, anyone know more about WA state's FIT?

Approx 6 acres for a 1 MW fixed ground mount crystalline array including
fence and inside access roads. Price excluding fence, road work, cable
trenching, and grid connection approx $7.50/W DC.

Both area and cost per kw are going to depend on the PV technology
platform
and the type of mounting. Are you talking crystalline modules or
thin-film
modules? Fixed tilt or tracking? If tracking, unless known metrics
already, you just gotta work it out with whatever you're working with.
I recently fit 3.9MW of a large thin-film module on fixed tilt on 29.9
acres, scheduled to come in below $4.00/W.
For crystalline, as a very general rule of thumb, I would say .6 the
area
and 1.5 the cost?

Did you ever get a response to this post? If so, would you mind sharing
it/them with me? I am also trying to get a handle on how much
ground/acreage a 1MW or 2MW solar installation would use. Any idea?
Thanks,

Can anyone out there give me this info or have a site that I can get
these
figures. How about the area required for a project of this size? Thanks
in
advance. Tump Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
