But will Fusion ever be cheaper than solar?

Eventually. But, much like traditional fission power, you'll need a very large and complex piece of infrastructure to deliver it.

You won't be able to put a fusion plant in your basement like you can put solar on your roof.

There are fusion reactors that fit between your fingers.
