Solar farms can do it so cheap because they buy the largest panels they can get their hands on with matching racks and they buy them both buy the truck load. Then they use large high voltage inverters running 277 or 480v that gets your inverter cost down to something like under 5 cents a watt.
If you put solar on your house you have to use panels that will fit on your roof, you are probably using a sub 10kw inverter and the installer likely ripped you off at every step of the process.
I saw a post on another forum where a door to door solar sales man offered to install a 4kw system for $20,000.
For compairson I'm looking to do my 4kw system, for under 4k dollars. And I'm going to be on trackers so I will be out producing most 5kw systems and have a secure power supply inverter that costs around 3x as much as a normal single function inverter.
