I can literally build or reactivate fully functional RPG7 and have it be 100% legal easier than I can build and install my own solar power generation.

Micro inverters are dumb. They're fine if you have trees you can't cut down or are spending other people's money.
If you have a good location micros are a waste of money.

If you want to do it cheap get big used poly crystal panels no one wants. Hint, they will be too big for micro inverters.
Get a used inverter with some warranty left.

Watch out for installers running up the bill, this is the one thing they are really good at.
