People keep saying that prices of panels keep falling, and yet any time I look at getting panels on my roof the price is the same $3/W it has been for 10 years already.

Buying the panels yourself, or an install company supplying them?

What country?

In 10 years the price has fallen dramatically, you’re getting majorly ripped off.

The prices are falling at the source, but free trade was never real; and it's even less so today. By the time these panels reach your roof, all kinds of fees and taxes have been tacked on. You'll be paying the maximal extractable amount.
