7.2KW system in San Diego - would love input

[solar_newbie]

Hi all. Amazing how much I've learned here in the last month - I've gone from "maybe next year" to "gotta get moving NOW" in less than a month, thanks to the rapidly approaching NetMetering 1 cap.

I've gotten several quotes - all from folks with great references. I've got a large flat roof that faces south and can handle about 26-27 panels. The primary contenders are:

1. 7,020 kW - 26 Axitec 270M panels with Fronius 6.0-1 inverter - $23.9k = $3.41/w
2. 7,500 kW - 25 LG 300W panels with LG inverter - $23.1k = $3.07/w
3. 6,900 kW - 22 LG 315W panels with Fronius 7.6-1 inverter - $25.9k = $3.74/w

Couple of questions -

1. The $/W on these seem higher than many of you are getting ... do I need to keep shopping or am I in the ballpark?

2. If I have a 7,020-7,290 kW system (maybe squeeze in another panel if we can)... will the Fronius 6.0-1 be enough to handle or do we need to go with the 7.6-1? The current subpanel can handle 30A from the 6.0-1 but would probably need to be upgraded to handle >40A from the 7-6.1. I'm being told that at 80% efficiency, the 6.0-1 is more than adequate.

Thanks in advance!!!!

You got good quote for 3.07/w Why you complaint ... All electrical upgrade is extra ...

While I'm not in San Diego, ( in the SF Bay Area ) any quote under $3.5/W in California seems about the best price possible.

Just my impression, but if you have heard a radio or TV commercial for an installer, most likely you end up paying for
the commercial and the salesperson that will accompany that commercial.
