Well, anyone who believed in solar could have invested in solar-related technologies, and anyone who didn't believe in solar probably wouldn't invest.

So, if you put your money where your mouth is(/was), you could be reaping the benefits. FSLR is +260% and SEDG is +440% over 5 years.

Plus, something far more important than money, is that any time a solar-denier talks about anything forward looking in the future, you can rub their face in the fact that they mispredicted solar so badly.

Meh, there's some truth there, but we all know it's more complicated than just "buy solar stock -> make lots of money". An industry can BOOM while perfectly rational investors lose a buttload of money because the particular companies/etfs they picked weren't the ones that benefited from the boom.
