Is Elon Musk out to save world or dominate it? Both, it seems, given today’s announcement that the electric-car entrepreneur and space pioneer intends to build the world’s largest solar panel factory in New York so he can sell you carbon-free electricity to power your home and car in a bid to push fossil fuels off the power grid.
Musk serves as chairman of SolarCity, the nation’s biggest solar installer, which Tuesday morning revealed it is acquiring a Silicon Valley photovoltaic panel manufacturer called Silevo in a deal worth as much as $350 million. The startup claims to have developed technology to make solar panels that produce more electricity at lower cost than those currently on the market.
