In the US at least, there’s huge, decades-old tariffs on Chinese solar panels. The rest is red tape of varying importance (engineering, land use, permitting, legal and financial agreements, community buy-in, interconnection queues, etc.) I’d guess it takes between 3-7 years to conceptualize a solar plant and getting it operational.
