Yes, and the point is that there are market niches that would either have gone unserved, or would have been served at greater expense because there was no suitable alternative that are now being served by PV solar. This what the start of disruption looks like (though by no means speaks to how far it ends up going)
That's rather obvious. I'm talking about places where it works well in Japan, along the same lines as the parent talking about places where it works well in parks.

In Japan, most of the country (well, mountain) roads are illuminated by street lights charged by a PV panel on top.
All 4-way stop intersections also have a blinking red light embedded in the road, once again charged by a PV cell.

That tells us that the cost of getting power to those locations dominates the cost of power used at those locations.
Other locations have different characteristics.
