About one in three Australian homes have rooftop solar. In America, it's less than one in ten, even though half the country sits under the same sun. The real story is the bill. The rooftop solar cost here runs up to seven times higher than in Australia, once tariffs, tax credits, and solar permitting pile on top of the price tag. Australia is adding home solar batteries at a blistering pace, and its lead keeps growing. So is Australia actually better at cutting paperwork? Or is America's red tape just costing you thousands?
