In the US any subsidies tend to just increase the overall cost to what the market will bear anyway (hence $60K/yr for college, for example), which is why you see such a huge slice of the pie (for residential) going to whoever is selling and installing the system. Also, this is probably not the cheapest system available, nor the cheapest labor available. But you could pay even more where market bears more, such as where I live - tons of FAANG people with too much money on hand.
