There are no domestic installation subsidies here anymore. Input tariffs 
apply - you think governments would pay them without you having a fully 
approved system using their meter?

You think shops here can sell components without Australian standards 
and safety approvals, or PV installers can get away with advertising 
installations full of hidden costs using unlicensed tradespeople?

I can tell you there is nothing inferior about Australian PV 
installations, you have to ask what makes yours apparently 5 times better.
