Ah yeah, 10 years ago solar panels were way more expensive than today.
That must be because back then they paid their workers enormous wages, but that's a thing of the past now.
It had nothing to do with up-scaling production to reduce costs, automation nor technological advances. And these things won't happen in the future either, despite the growing market (more than doubling every 2 years).

The costs will come down and it will be worthwhile to build and extend solar farms until there's a frequent overage of electricity. That will create a new kind of market though.

Solar can never be the only source of energy, but it can make a solid contribution in 5 to 10 years from now.
