For whatever reason both solar and heat pumps are insanely cheap in Australia vs America. It’s mostly in the labor part for some reason. This comes up all the time in the solar subreddit where Americans are routinely quoted at $4.00+ per watt for solar and $20,000+ for heat pump installs.
- dalyons 3y agoHeatpumps I kind of get because they’re still rare here (us). But solar is everywhere. I don’t understand how a 350mil person market is so much more expensive for solar than a 30mil one. The US generally has cheaper labor, less construction rules, and cheaper components due to volume . the solar thing is mysterious to me.
