I've had good luck with Enphase microinverters, so I'm looking to go that way. As a general rule, any contractor that uses commission-based sales personnel are probably too expensive. For my first two PV solar installations, I dealt directly with the owner.
For a small, residential application, $1.75/Watt is about the cost of the panels, w/o installation.
