If you look back at the last 10 or so years in solar, you can see a ramp up of innovation followed by capital. The first phase was expensive capital into ‘risky’ ideas. The second phase was huge manufacturing plants funded by billions in venture capital, driven in large by the government policies that the capital was chasing. The third phase was the de-risking of solar and lower cost capital looking to invest in the sun. The next phase will be about solving the little problems, the problems we are largely ignoring because we have a status quo fixes for them. Part of what I hope to accomplish is finding the clean tech innovator that can improve my competitive edge.
