Cost competitive for whom? For utility companies?
But even so, a field full of solarpannels is still a small decentralized production unit compared to a coal fired powerplant.
The people deploying it. If you don't want that to be a big utility company, then look into community solar.
No, what I meant is that it is different if you build a system for selling electricity or if you build one for your own consumption. In the latter case other financial and practical considerations apply and rooftop solar can be cost competitive compared to buying electricity from a supplier.
