Yesterday was an interesting day in the market. The day started with a drop in 10 year bond yields to under 2% and the market reacted drastically. This means that you can get a 30 year mortgage for under 4% fixed interest which would be enticing for solar developers and probably expand more markets. At the same time, SolarCity released their crowd funding program, marketing their loans for between 2%-4%, that’s mass market if they can get it!
