I looked into getting solar installed. Best I could get in my area was $45k for a 10kW system or $97k for a 20kW with 2 power walls for storage. F that, even with government subsided rates.

That's just absurd, why is it so expensive for you? You could install it yourself for the most part, it's not super complicated, just physically difficult. And then pay an electrician $500 to connect the inverter to your main panel.

Lack of competition, but mostly greed.
