The Lazard report is pretty reliable, some 2023 figures for LCOE from: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/04/14/average-solar-lcoe-in...

  Utility-scale solar PV comes in anywhere from $24/MWh to $96/MWh

  Unsubsidized residential rooftop PV has an LCOE between $117/MWh and $282/MWh,

  the LCOE of community and commercial and industrial (C&I) solar ranges between $49/MWh and $185/MWh.

  When factoring in federal tax subsidies under the US Inflation Reduction Act, including domestic contest provisions, rooftop PV comes in at $74/MWh to $229/MWh, and community/C&I rooftop PV at $32/MWh to $155/MWh.
It is hard to find good comparative figures with similar assumptions (e.g. incentives, location, year), but the above give a ballpark.
