TIn this episode of The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon breaks down the real reasons behind skyrocketing U.S. solar costs based on firsthand research and international comparisons. In Australia, a full solar + battery system can cost just 25% of what Americans pay.
This episode explains why.
Episode Highlights:
• Why solar is so much cheaper overseas
• The difference between “hard costs” vs “soft costs”
• How tariffs are increasing system prices
• Why permitting improvements weren’t enough
• The biggest cost driver: interconnection delays
• How financing structures inflate prices
• Why U.S. policy is holding solar back
• What needs to change to lower costs
The truth is… It’s not the equipment. It’s not labor. It’s the system. And until that changes, homeowners and businesses will keep overpaying.
