I'm not familiar enough with the machinations of these groups, but could this be explained by loss aversion? Like I've always heard that meteorologists predict rain more often than their models would actually imply -> because people get mad if they make plans and they get rained out. Is anyone "mad" if PV beats estimates or conversely is someone at the IEA going to lose their job if they say: "this is the year that solar is blowing up" and someone invests and it's finally the year it takes a break?

Do you think analysts take more risk hyping solar (b/c investors in renewable energy could lose some $ if solar stalls) or by playing down solar (b/c investors in fossil fuels could lose $$$ if solar keeps growing)? I guess fear originates from the side where most capital is at risk. Hint: not solar.
