Grid scale is usually the cheapest. I don't actually see how rooftop solar will ever be affordable because grid prices are going to go down also.

Is the assumption that grid costs will be substantial enough that rooftop solar becomes the cheapest?

I mean grid as in utility built grid solar. Everyone uses the grid so everyone needs to pay for it. But mass development of solar in a field is always going to be cheaper way of building solar than niche solar panel installation on a roof.
