Earlier this week, Tesla announced that they are working on a partnership with Panasonic to manufacturer modules at the new Buffalo gigafactory. It seems by the wording of the release that the intent is to make the HIT modules as opposed to the acquired Silevo technology. Without saying it, it appears that SolarCity is giving up on the technology at this scale in favor of a product that is already in the market. Of course, the reasoning is likely not to become public but the result is the same nonetheless. We are less than a month from the shareholder vote for the acquisition by Tesla so stay tuned.
