Teardown analysis of solar inverter
In its first-ever dissection of a solar power inverter, IHS has determined the bill of materials (BOM) of a major manufacturer’s product, providing a path-setting benchmark for cost reduction in a market expected to undergo rapid price erosion in the coming years.The Aurora PVI-4.2-OUTD-S-US Inverter from Power-One Inc. carries a BOM of $641.47, according to an IHS iSuppli Teardown Analysis. When the $47.87 manufacturing and test costs are added in, the total expense to produce the inverter rises to $689.35, as shown in the table.
Solar power inverters, also known as photovoltaic PV inverters, are electronic systems that convert the DC power generated by solar panels into AC power that is needed for local use, or into power that can be fed into the electricity grid. An inverter is half power management system and half embedded computer.
The solar power inverter market has strong growth prospects, with worldwide unit shipments set to rise to 30.2 million units in 2015, up from four million in 2011.

Do you use passive solar panels to help heat your home?
What kind of performance do you get? How much did your system cost and did you do it by yourself?
This probably isn't the best answer, but here goes. My father-in-law is an electrician at a nuclear power plant, so he knows more than a bit about transmission, generation, and so forth.
