In Slovakia (and we are little bit cheaper then Germany installation) you can count around 2,5€ per Wp (with thin-film down to 2€ per Wp) of installation cost. 18 650 000 Wp times 2 € = 37,3 million €. Thus 3.5 million is less than 10%.

If that powers 5000 homes (or $2000 investment each) why don’t we have these things all over the place. I’d pay $2000 upfront for free energy for years to come, wouldn’t you?
