Brute Force Solar

By Jonathan Lacoste & Sawsan Haider

We have a controversial take: solar is sitting inside a high-leverage window for the U.S. marketEvery major energy supply chain (gas turbines, nuclear SMRs, transformers) are slammed with 5-year bottlenecks.

Except one: silicon solar PV.

In Issue 003 of the Ambition Capital Journal, we unpack our latest thesis: Brute-Force Solar. We make the case that the U.S. should front-load the acquisition and deployment from the world's most hyper-scaled hardware supply chain while the market remains open. The policy clock is ticking fast. Last week's foreign price floors and Section 232 tariff announcements shrank this high-leverage window from years to months.
