    Residential solar in the US is already stupidly expensive, like 4-5x what it costs in Australia

    The average cost of an 11 kW solar panel installation on EnergySage is $22,022 [USD]

    Meanwhile, in Australia (5900 AUD = 3900 USD)

        Unfortunately for solar users in this part of the country, the state and federal governments have announced $1300 in payments for electricity costs for all households (technically a credit on future power bills because it’s easier to administer that way, no application forms etc)

        Though fortunately for those solar users, most of the electrical infrastructure is still in government hands so it’s just accounting trickery
