This is your SolarWakeup for June 23rd, 2016

Ahmad Chatila, CEO of SunEdison, has left the company. The only surprise here is that it took this long for it to happen. Let’s get back to the news of the week, the proposed acquisition of SolarCity by Tesla. While I live in the solar bubble, things will probably not go quite as smoothly as headlines make it sound. Analysts covering Tesla don’t sound very enthused about the acquisition and are not totally sure that shareholders will want to support the effort. Installing and financing solar is not quite like making cars but as these things go, much of the answers will be based on the fact that Elon says it is a no-brainer.
