15-20kW? How big is your home/electricity consumption? I paid $7.5K USD ($10K AUD) for 5.9kW panels (5kW inverter) only 2.5 years ago, which I still think is pretty good.
In summer I generate 40kWh a day, winter down to ~23kWh (AU is lucky though in this regard), which nearly always exceeds my home usage. 20kW of panels is huge, at least 60+ panels + I'm guessing multiple large inverters or lots of micro inverters.
$1/watt installed is really cheap IMO at this scale residential.

- birdman3131 5y agoI am running about 2100kw/month (about 70/day) and we are not cooling all rooms. I wish I was not renting as I would insulate the hell out of an owned home. (I would also install solar but that's a different issue.)
