SolarCity

Elon Musk, is a North-American business magnate who has made billions off of tech giants like Paypal and off of public and private ventures like Tesla Motor Company and Solar City. He has also made bigger projects like SpaceX, a private space agency and The Boring Company, which drills tunnels under Los Angeles to fit his project the HyperLoop. The HyperLoop is an underground magnetic railway that can transport cars and pedestrians faster than any public transit yet. He still has bigger ventures…

Evolution of the Panels Solar power is not a new concept—two thousands years ago our ancestors would concentrate the sun’s heat with glass or mirrors to light fires or heat water. It wasn’t until 1839 that Edmond Becquerel, a French scientist, discovered what is known as the “photovoltaic (PV) effect,” (US DOE EERE). While experimenting with an electrolytic cell that consisted of two metal electrodes placed in an electricity-conducting solution, he noticed that electricity-generation increased…

(Tesla, n.d). Just a year later, they would also announce the Tesla Powerwall - a set of high-capacity batteries that can be used for home energy storage (Griggs, 2015). The biggest surprise, however, would come in 2016 when the company acquired SolarCity, the largest installer of rooftop solar systems in the United States (Gavin, 2016). Today, Tesla not only builds all-electric vehicles but is also clearly focused on clean energy generation and storage products. The company continues to grow…

When you hear the word "Tesla", what comes to mind? Let me guess,....cars, right? Well, that was the answer I was hoping you were thinking about and the direction I knew you were headed towards. This idea of Tesla being closing connected with cars has been an "ideal" concept that has been implanted in our minds from generations to generations. We have tagged these two together so that we are able to easily associate them with being involved in the automotive industry. It is a fact that Tesla,…

energy in the night could not cost efficient. Although this may be true solar energy saves electricity so the money being used for the electricity bill could now be used to pay for the solar panels at different weather conditions. The article “Solarcity” states, “When you begin to generate your own solar power, your electricity bill can drop significantly.”This helps fix the money situation because if you are creating the electricity you will not need to pay an electricity bill which is means…

internet. He also created Zip2, a program that he define as a primitive Google Maps that meets Yelp. The most important of all his projects is SpaceX. This company/project is suppose one day to help the human race to move on Mars. He also developed SolarCity, a company that produce solar panels so they can be install on top of your roof and alimente your house in electricity. In 2015, he also developed OpenAI, a company of research that tries to create a competent and close to perfect artificial…

one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. It is low carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive” (UN). In Time to Choose, two solar companies SolarCity and Solargentivity are recipients of the green economy as both are growing tremendously fast. Lovins agrees with the model that green companies are using. For example, he states, “The Clean-tech revolution, is a field made for climate…

Elon Musk, the man that the author Tim Urban wrote about, is a self-made billionaire who is trying to change our future for the better with technology. He is involved with Tesla Motors, SpaceX, SolarCity, OpenAI, PayPal and Zip2. In fact, he owns SpaceX, co-founders of Tesla Motors, SolarCity, PayPal, Zip2, and co-chairman with OpenAI. However, the goals of Elon Musk’s companies, SpaceX and Tesla, are the things that makes the author’s posts eye-catching and interesting. Those goals are…

potential the solar market possesses. In 2014 the Energy Department launched the Solar Ready Vets Program, aiming to train 25,000 veterans to install solar equipment by 2025, and already three of the largest American solar companies, Vivint Solar, SolarCity, and SunPower, have committed to the new program (US Official News 2014a). Meanwhile Obama and the Energy Department have created new training programs at community colleges to help 50,000 people enter the solar industry by 2020 (Eilperin…
