    Here in Canada prices have stayed stubbornly high. It’s the Canadian way.

    I have panels that I bought for under $0.50/watt that they were clearing out at the local wholesaler years ago. Haven’t been able to find anything even near that price range since, and I’m an electrician with access to wholesale pricing.

    I have found some decent prices recently but they’re all on full pallet lots. So you need to be a business dedicated to solar installs to get a fair price, and those businesses obviously don’t pass the savings on as that’s not the Canadian way.

    Batteries are an even worse situation! If you live here and want storage, I hope you like lead-acid.
