SolarCity Shines Bright Like A Diamond
Seeking Alpha says, "Unlike other solar power companies, the SolarCity (SCTY) plan addresses this, head on, for both customers and investors. The company offers something unique. SCTY essentially owns the solar panels costing the customer nothing up front and instead sells the solar-generate electricity back to the customer (either as a monthly lease style option or paying for the solar electricity per kWh itself, much in the same way in traditional means). Both options are expected to be cheaper in every way to the consumer so the solar panels sell themselves and literally pay for themselves instantly."
