"Creates the world’s only integrated sustainable energy company"
Last week, Tesla announced it acquired SolarCity, making huge waves in the energy world. The merger is expected to create the world’s only integrated sustainable energy company, from energy generation to storage to transportation. And it's also projected to look pretty good for Tesla financially as well.
Beginning new era of smart growth?
The demand from homebuyers for solar energy is growing and continues to do so. Whereas some areas are starting to make solar panels more cost effective, one area took it to a whole new level; they're building an entire town to be run on solar power.
The appeal of solar energy is starting to gain a lot of traction across the nation, especially in warmer states. However, with the increase in demand comes an increase in caution. The Department of Justice filed a new suit against a solar panel telemarketer over unlawful robocalls.
After much anticipation, Tesla’s first crop of energy storage batteries are finally on the market. For now, Tesla is only bringing the Powerwall to Australia since the country is a priority market due to its high number of solar energy users.
Tesla Motors, the company that plans to revolutionize automobiles with its electric car, is planning a new revolution that aims to transfer how we power the rest of our lives. How will the home battery impact mortgages?
Homebuyer support for solar energy options is growing, but those who want to go greener still face two main challenges.
Solar power: Will homeowners pay the extra costs?
Demand for solar power homes has steadily gained ground in the housing market. While there was little research to back up the technology before, a new study helps shows the truth behind the demand.
The housing industry just moved one giant step closer to more accessible solar power. SolarCity has created a new investment program with Bank of America Merrill Lynch to finance millions of dollars in solar power projects over the next few years.
The world is going green, and so is housing, which is seeing a growing boom in solar-power projects. Before appraisers are left in the dark, the Appraisal Institute and the industry are working to make sure these new homes are properly assessed.
