Elon Musk bet on solar energy – Business Insider
The solar roof idea isn’t completely original. Other companies have attempted such a feat before but most have been unsuccessful. Near the end of June, The Dow Chemical Company made the decision to halt production of their Powerhouse that used solar roofs. Their stock dropped over $5 per share in the weeks to follow. Musk has always set high goals for his businesses but overcoming the same obstacles where previous companies have failed could prove a challenge.
