    The rooftop solar model is a house of cards of assumptions upon assumptions, some more far-fetched than others, but it can crumble quite easily, and it's all predicated on harvesting as many incentives as you can, and transaction fees everywhere, which is why the banks love it.

Yeah that sounds about right. Regulatory arbitrage and transaction fees. Fuckin' Elon.
