Solar Under Attack?
SolarCity (and other 3rd party funders like Sunrun and Sungevity) are being questioned by the US Dept. of Treasury – not about how effective solar power is, but because Ms. Molly Podelefsky, a PhD candidate at Univ of Colorado, and others claim in their research that they have inflated the value of their installations to increase ITCs (30% solar federal tax credits) for investors. Jonathan Bass, VP of Communications of SolarCity, pointed out that no one would pay an additional dollar for 30 cents of tax benefits.
