You have to look at the SCTY value proposition and work backwards.I just sat down and read the entire SolarCity annual report, all 200-some pages of it.
Excellent interview, debate, Q&A with Lydon Rive and President of PG&E:

"The Impact of Policy and Market Forces on Renewable Energy: SIEPR Summit 2016"
These things are being explained in a way that only makes sense to people who would read a Tesla Motors Club SCTY Investors Thread every day. That's not helping.
Take a listen at 57:30 when Lyndon gives his 2 cents about the logic of grids requiring access to distributed storage. He gets his point out, but not in a way that any normal person could easily absorb. Not to mention he positions the role of a homeowner's battery pack as a tool of the utility rather than something they "rent out" to the utility. No emphasis whatsoever on the benefit to the customer, just the system. How does he not see that the average potential customer will find that positioning completely unpalatable?
I know he's the CEO and head architect, but engineers with his type of brain have no place in these conversations. They should be building things, not marketing or explaining these them to the average consumer.
The circuit breaker should have just tripped. I can't see any good reason for this drop besides perhaps the MM wanting the stock where it was before the last earnings call, this quarter. It either rips above $35, or re-tests $18. This is basically the mid point.
Right, isn't it supposed to trip at 10% drop? Fail.
How is the SP not going up because of this?! Bought some near open and now banging head against well because it keeps going down.... Seems like last 5 trading days where it'll just keep slipping *sighsSolarCity Launches Utility and Grid Services
SolarCity now begins to offer the complete package of energy solutions.
ER should have a positive effect, right?Anything below $50 is a bargain, just pick your spots.
“If Congress had to go deeper into energy policy and try to make changes on things like net energy metering or bigger changes in PURPA standards, it could easily derail legislation or at least make it more challenging to find common ground," he said.
The environmental groups, though concerned about the lack of bigger energy initiatives, applauded S. 2012’s support for “new clean energy technologies like marine hydrokinetic and geothermal technologies that have yet to be commercialized on a large scale.” They also welcomed increased budgets for DOE’s Office of Science and the Advanced Research Project Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).

LOL....read the comments section, these are the folks voting for a certain toupee'd casino mogul. ZH broke a couple good stories prior to the recession and now just feeds it's simpleton base what they want to hear.Looks the "minority share" of ownership that SCTY retained was 5% over the first 20 years in the recent Hancock deal:

I guess I'm just a total socialist when it comes to power. To me, the whole point of a load balancing battery is to serve as a benefit to the grid (to offset the negative of intermittent generation). If the utility thinks it will serve them better for them to control the way in which it balances, I don't have a problem with that. The benefit to me as a customer is less opposition to renewable power and potentially lower prices to everyone for grid power as the utility will have fewer problems with demand peaks and valleys.Take a listen at 57:30 when Lyndon gives his 2 cents about the logic of grids requiring access to distributed storage.
