[RE-wrenches] Cost per kW of a 2 mega watt installation

[ASAP POWER! 2]

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
