https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/15/tesla-largely-responsible-for-slide-in-us-home-solar-sales-report.html as you can see that's the article's headline, I didn't write it.
I had no idea that SolarCity had such a large share of the home solar market that Tesla changing its business plan -- which it really needed to so, since SolarCity was losing money and headed for bankruptcy -- would actually result in a decline in U.S. home solar installations. Really, that change single-handedly made that much change in the market? I keep reading that home solar installations are growing in an exponential fashion. If just one company temporarily withdrawing from the market would cause that big a drop in home solar installations, then IMHO that calls into question just how fast the market is growing. Color me puzzled.
