SCTY has the most useful business model in the solar industry (note the several large players have backed outs of their solarization ideas like Du Pont
and GE (for now). Everyone else is stuck with their R&D costs, while players all over the world keep innovating solar cell output % eff.
I still do not understand why someone like GE Capital has not 'taken away' the SCTY solar leasing mode, with their big buck pockets.
Also, always wondered why Obomb administration never got it that they could keep USA folks working at their job paying taxes and keeping their homes, by
getting USA solar cell companies to hire USA workers and put solar cells on USA home and business roofs . . . talk about a QE program that might have saved us all and lessened deficit by producing real physical capital investment (instead of economy based on rising stock market ghost economy). Stevy Wonder (the Energy Secty) probably could not swing something like that with the DC/Wall Street FEDs.
Another small problem is . . . what happens to all the lease solar cell contracts, if FED starts withdrawals T-Bill month purchases, and interest rates creep up?
The SCTY business model: utilities still have to OK the to grid hookups and who sends the signal allowing grid restart after a brownout or failure? Lot of potential for lose power fees if no backup batteries installed for each set of solarized homes? How does all this stuff 'talk' to each other?
