Wiring is a trade expression here for electrically fitting out, 
connection to mains and obtaining certification for an installation.

Your comparison of prices for PV cells with ours (say $15000:$2000) 
suggest that $13000 or 85% of your cost is for certification, and/or you 
are assuming ours have inadequate or no licensing or approvals at all.

What's more your PV cells seem to cost much more to guarantee safety as 
the kW's they produce goes up.
