Installation is labor-intensive custom work. Panel manufacture is a high-volume production process.

And skilled labor at that. You don't want your roof leaking (if that's where it's installed), nor do you want an electrical fire.

I also presume the current installation prices might include some sort of maintenance guarantee. That adds to cost as well.
