I'd like to see the math on this. Solar City runs ads around here to put this on your house.

I don't see how it pays out except for being subsidized.

I'd like to see the books. This smells like nothing but payola for another failing solar company who made the right political contributions.

Solar City is heavily subsidized at the federal and state levels. The combination of federal tax credits, utility payments, and forced utility purchases of excess electricity generation make the solar business lucrative. I believe that some major players (such as Google) are involved in this scam, essentially being provided essentially guaranteed rates of return of 10+ percent.
