Another data point: my entire system in Switzerland cost me 1.3CHF/Watt including a 20kWh battery and 5000 CHF of scaffolding costs (needed because of our local OSHA equivalent laws when installing panels on a tilted roof).

It has become ridiculously cheap indeed.

What's the cost of power in Confoederatio Helvetica?
Around 30 centiCHFs per KWh at the peak tariff: https://www.ewz.ch/en/private-customers/electricity/tariffs/...
What's your weather like? Is it year round sunny? Do you get a lot of snow in the winter?
It's mostly similar to France. My house is in a valley (so reasonable snow) and some good solar irradiation year round.

The roof being at a steep angle also means snow doesn't tend to accumulate much.
