We are getting some public clarification. After SolarWakeup asked the question about the future of Silevo’s technology in the NY factory, Wall Street had some questions. Yesterday, Tesla elaborated on Panasonic’s statements about the solar factory. It will be a blend of the HIT and Silevo technology. Panasonic will now be the operator of the factory and sell the modules under a long term supply agreement to Tesla (SolarCity). There is a danger in doing PR comms when the PR team doesn’t have the business and technical knowledge to understand the point that is missed in the release. Executives get complacent when reading the draft releases and don’t think ahead. Do yourself a favor, either get a comms team that understands your business or really read your releases. This was an unforced error 4 weeks before a crucial shareholder vote.
