Lowered the cost of solar power? He acquired his cousins company and idled it, tough business, resi, more of a securitization play. I support the mans intent nonetheless, hard to hit all homeruns at his scale. But for the record you could say Germany (paying high FIT conract rates) and China (scaling module mfg capacity) did a lot more for solar, granted those are nation states it should still be a complement.
But ze electric cars and push to megapaks.. No one!
- simonebrunozzi 6y agoYou're comparing an entire country vs a single man. Not fair.
- ldbooth 6y ago> granted those are nation states it should still be a complement. To be fair then: Tom Werner of Sunpower, Dan Shugar of NextTracker, Employees at Bell Laboratories (created the first solar cell), Employees at SunEdison (created the Solar PPA, the backbone of even Musk's solar financing) all have done more for Solar Photovoltaics. I don't know who to credit at First Solar but, surely someone: these are all the Solar OG's.
