- $16 for 8W transistor - [9] - can be found here. Specific engineering for mission specific-applications probably gets us to a low cost solution, or using off-market components especially if they can be multipurpose modules. For example, using a construction set approach to produce an array which is completely modular, and can be reused in applications such as inverters, etc.
