yeah, material cost is going down while labor is going up. Most of these comparisons are for utility scale solar where economy of scale makes more sense. If your local code allows you to DIY solar there are DIY kits with straight forward instructions that make it really cost competitive. DIY solar is illegal in the sunshine state.
