Sustained Strait of Hormuz disruption pushes European households into record solar adoption as a hedge while government subsidies and the renewable supply response prevent price-driven mass protests from crystallizing.
// Cascade Logic
Hormuz disruption → persistent European energy-price anxiety → record rooftop solar installations as household hedge + subsidy response → suppressed mass-protest probability.

Ongoing Gulf supply risk sustains elevated European electricity/gas price expectations, reinforcing household incentives and policy tailwinds for rooftop solar deployment in the peak Q2 install season.

Mass solar adoption provides households a visible agency-preserving alternative to price shocks, blunting the grievance formation that typically drives cross-country energy protest mobilization.

Prolonged but moderate Hormuz disruption keeps prices elevated yet predictable enough that EU states can continue targeted subsidies that pre-empt the flashpoint protest thresholds.
