The energy sector is heavily subsidized by governments because it's important. "Market reality" doesn't work here.

If you built solar and energy storage that was capable of powering an entire house for less expense than the grid can do it, people will buy that, subsidies won't matter.

There is a lot of "green washing" that intentionally ignores this outcome because what it really wants to do is capture the subsidies for itself. Which is what I was alluding to originally.
