This is a brand new factory in upstate NY that's going to equip SolarCity with about 1GW of yearly panel production, and allows them to vertically integrate their business (ie not rely on other panel suppliers).

Ah, okay. I realize they were primarily an installer before. The article seemed to focus on their new efficiency tech, so I was left wondering whether that was a more relevant part of the investment. Presumably they can re-tool as techniques improve and keep their vertical integration...
