Spent $6k here in Australia for 6.6kW system with Microinverters. Has worked really well for the past 3 years. Seems very common here.
Not sure why the US is having such a hard time in comparison.

Cost of hardware is also a lot higher. I was able to get panels for about $1/watt, iirc in AU it's closer to $0.45/watt (not installed, just the hardware).
The recent changes in the Inflation Reduction Act, offering a 30% tax rebate on all roof-top solar purchases, really changes the calculations and makes leasing much less attractive, so there will probably be many fewer of them going forward. But that also means that there will be less money for the hedge funds that have invested in the leasing, and they will probably make life even worse for the people with existing leases.
