For new technologies, adoption curves can vary wildly, and for different reasons. When it comes to clean tech, PV and wind specifically, the adoption is dominated by sunsetting investments over a long horizon.
Other types of tech have much faster adoption cycles due to the lower cost of substitution. For each peak-hour kWh from PV comes at an increased cost of non-peak-hour kWh from non-PV (whether storage or generation).
