Does anyone know what there ball park cost is installed? How many panels does it take to be cost effective on say 200 square roof?

Most solar installations are found atop the roof. I wonder what provisions are being made to maintain and service the roof. Also, these devices require numerous roof penetrstions for the structual steel supports, and just to rely on pitch pockets presents another problem for the roofer. And ultimate replacement years hence is an important factor that should be considered in the economics equation.
