Just got a quote last week (US east coast, mid-atlantic region) for $2.07/W DC with a 1.26 DC/AC ratio (9.6KW panels, 7.6KW string inverter). After 30% tax credit that’s $1.45/W, which might finally push me over the edge to install. My previous quote last year was about $2.36/W and in 2017 was about $2.85/W. So installed prices are definitely going down, at least in some parts of the country.
Local solar installer in the Raleigh, NC area: https://8msolar.com. I don't think they service anywhere outside of central NC. I was trying to be a bit generic on the region but turns out mid-atlantic (by most definitions) technically stops at Virginia, my mistake.
