Probably helps the Canadian government isn't trying to tariff solar power in the hopes of promoting "beautiful clean coal" instead

I mean, yes, separately that's going to put solar plans on hold for a lot of people in the US. I just meant that labor costs alone already tended to easily exceed $5k for rooftop solar projects in the US, so I was surprised at that price for that much solar.
