Google & SolarCity Partner to Make Solar Affordable

SolarCity and Google announced the creation of a new $280 million fund to finance residential solar power projects.
The Google-backed fund is the first collaboration between the Internet giant and the nation's leading solar power service provider, and represents Google's largest investment to date in the clean energy sector.
The fund is SolarCity's largest project financing fund and the largest residential solar fund created in the U.S. SolarCity has now created 15 solar power project funds with seven different partners to finance more than $1.25 billion in solar projects.

what i dont like about it is you have to pay the loan back - and pay google for the elctric and give google the tax break - the only thing it seesm to due is lower you electric bill alittle and give you the good feeling of going green - but -i wonder if the rate google charges would always be low -or if they sell the business or what ever- i would like to see the energy be free at some point

Love to see projects like this... Projects started by big companies, hope the smaller ones will follow.

In Australia, too. Installing your own houses.

for 280$ they could at least put the panels so they don't look like they were just thrown on the roof
