Costs have shrunk dramatically just in the last 12 months.
Solar is down to around 0.25 / watt at bulk.
Battery, LiFePo4 is $200/kWh.
Those are retail bulk prices. Commercial/Industrial prices are similar or sometimes better on commercial-sized equipment.
Granted, as you noted interconnection and permitting costs are high and going up and labor costs have risen and those are the main costs now.
