Isn't it only dropping because people are buying it? If no one was buying it, it'd get more expensive. Also, a 50% drop this year doesn't guarantee a 50% drop next year. And perhaps there's some speculation that traditional energy sources are going to increase in price going forwards.

Also, I think for a lot of buyers there's more to the purchase than cost. A lot of organisations have environmental targets to hit nowadays, solar is one way to realise these targets.

And as another commenter mentioned, some people buying might not have a choice (not having electricity isn't an option).
