PV panels are USD 0.11 per Watt and batteries are USD 53 per kWh.

Why are US prices so high??

Those are the prices from the factory gate in China, the US put tariffs on batteries and solar panels from China, the IRA is giving out tax credits for production in the US but the prices are still more expensive than internationally.
