This could just mean gas gets more expensive and solar stays the same.

Nope, it’s definitely mostly solar decreasing. Just look at a price graph of solar over time, it looks like an exponential decay function. Just a few decades ago, solar was thousands of times more expensive than gas, Even in 2010, solar was still over 5 times the cost of gas, but it’s dropped ~90% between 2010 and 2020, and is still dropping 10%+ per year.

Hmm, no wonder people don't build nuclear anymore, with all the safety requirement it becomes too expensive.
