Yep - this my understanding as well. Generally speaking roof-top solar panels go up in 50w increments with 250w or 300w being a fairly common size at the moment. So in theory, tis a matter of sticking enough S3D cells in the panel to deliver that amount of power.

Some micro-inverter companies - most importantly the biggest one by market share; Enphase do maintain a list of compatible panels. So there can be compatibility issues - though in general this is not too much for us to worry about.

Would like to have a better understanding of the cost structure in solar panel production though.

Glass is not the only possible encapsulation material for solar cells - e.g. also possible to use a polymer which brings some advantages.
