First Solar is projecting their prices at about 2/3rds what they are now by 2017.

They fell very fast – faster than trend – in 2009-2012, but recently they have flatlined, as demand picks up in China and Japan and companies try to restore sustainable margins. There’s no reason to doubt that the downward trend, driven by technology and economies of scale, will resume – but in a few years.
