Solar was trending down steadily, but supply chain disruptions have things a bit more dicey over the past year, so this is a tough question to answer. But solar has definitely not increased by anything like the percentages quoted for electricity in the last thread, so I think you're right that the economics are better today.
Any good solar installer can give you an estimate tailored to your home's exact location, angle to the Sun, electrical rates, etc. They can often do the first pass economics with just a phone call using satellite images and computer modeling.
In Mass, I'd recommend SunBug. For NH, I'd call Revision Energy or ACE Solar.
