Okay, I promised a hardware list. So, here's what I've found to date:
(Please note that these manufacturers/vendors have no working relationship with me. I have nothing to gain from promoting their products, I just am liking what I am seeing in options and prices associated with these particular brands).
For your inverters:
You may want to consider the Sunny Boy 3000US, or 4000US depending up on the kWatt capacity of your solution. You can find lots of details on the Sunny Boy including pricing here:

www.sunelec.com, This site has both solar panels and inverters of other manufacturer besides Sunny Boy.
For solar panels:
Sun Electronics, $2.38/watt cost on panels.

Solar tracking units:

That's all I have for now. If you are a DIY and want some help give me a hollar, I'll help out until it consumes too much of my time. I can get great prices from the seller of the sun tracking system through my employer if 8 or more units are being purchased.
