    Is it that expensive to import solar pannels from China, I get that infrastructure scale batteries are expensive?

      Total cost of power its very expensive. When you see how cheap solar is that’s just the panels, you then have to deal with the intermittency, and the backup power generation for the periods where performance is degraded.
