   With solar panel prices ever-falling, mounting and wiring had to overtake their price at some point, and based on this graph I think it was sometime in 2021.

   So can install costs keep going down or do they plateau? Seems it will soon come down to innovation outside the panels.

   BTW, looking like my diy installation will be cheaper than the utility-scale 2021 cost.
