I understood the big extra to be the hardware/controls/wiring as well as the extra coordination and labor the installation requires. I do not have numbers off hand.

The cost is in the range of $100 per sq. ft.; more if the unit sizes are small and less if the units and total order is bigger. The switchable film does have a maxiumum size and if the units exceed that size, you will see a line where the sheets meet.
