We won’t take their panels without a tarif war. What will happen to all the excess solar equipment? Kind of like the natural gas industry, but somehow, this never occurs with the oil or coal industry.

Solar is a great deal for the end use customer but it is still a big time loser for the manufacturers and taxpayers (30% federal tax credit (subsidy)). Solar City is on track to lose $100 million this year. If you want to lose your investment buy the IPO, they need your money. If you want to make money short the IPO or have them put solar on your home.

I bult it with no effort – actually it was my dad who built it. This site – http://green-energy-at-home.com/wp/solar-stirling-plant, tells you how to do it. All you need is a few tools – and maybe a loving father :).

Installing solar panels loosing investor money (200m$ so far, and 200m$ after ipo…)… This is just damned crazy… I can name much larger and profitable companies in Europe…. Be ready for another A123 American investor (but without technology)… Good luck…

I worked for them early on and found management to be pretty damn good. It’s one of Elon’s companies, so they tend to be well managed. Their vision of the future is EV/PV with a little Space-X on the side. The recent announcement of the Tesla charging stations using SolarCity PV arrays is a case in point.
