It would be interesting to see how much of that is cost of the actual array, cost of other items, and labor. The main reason is that several companies are making announcements about having installed array costs drop to close to $1 - $2 per watt within just a few years, if you can believe them. Anyway, it would be interesting to see the sensitivity to actual array costs in the total. For my site, the cost before rebates, etc was almost $9 per installed watt.
