Elon Musks interest, is NOT the cheapest way to go solar. There are plenty of companies out their that are flexible.

They also offer lease programs for solar, which don't save as much as a purchase, but it still saves considerably from PG&E

PGE is upset because they are working to figure out a way to pay for the gas explosion in San Bruno, that devastated a neighborhood, and the only way to keep managements high salaries is to pass the cost on to the customer
