EXCLUSIVE: Tesla's solar factory is exporting most of its cells - document via nicholagroom
- The “great majority” of solar cells being produced at Tesla’s factory in upstate New York are being sold overseas instead of being used in the company’s trademark “Solar Roof” as originally intended, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.
When the two firms announced the partnership in 2016, the companies said they would collaborate on cell and module production and Tesla would make a long-term commitment to buy the cells from Panasonic. Cells are components that convert the sun’s light into electricity; they are combined to make solar panels.
A Tesla official declined to comment on its purchases of cells from Panasonic or to provide figures for Solar Roof installations. Since Tesla purchased SolarCity in the fourth quarter of 2016, installations have dropped more than 76 percent, according to company financial disclosures. “It is fully anticipated that the majority of the cells to be produced” in the FTZ “will be exported,” the company said in its application.
