I plan to incorporate much of this in the follow-up article. :D

Not because I particularly like it, I much prefer crowdfunding and community owned. But, based upon the current scale, 3rd party is making a big difference.

As far as the biggest impact so far, FiT schemes allowed crowd funding and 3rd party solar leasing.

In terms of disruption, Tesla is the biggest. They put the car industry on it’s head in under a year.

FiTs. They helped bring the price of installed solar down in Spain and Germany very rapidly.

What could be the most disruptive ‘things’ going forward?

A price on carbon. Drive up the price of old coal and natural gas and renewable installation rates will accelerate.

Higher capacity EV batteries. Longer range with the same amount of materials. ICEVs would be niche sales within ten years.

I´m not voting because the poll is silly. FITs are a policy mechanism; crowdfunding and 3d-party solar are project-level financial mechanisms; Tesla cars are a consumer product; none of them are exclusive. Besides ¨disruptive¨ is no more than a vague business slogan.

And we need checkboxes rather than buttons.
