The record
SolarCity was founded independently in 2006 and acquired by Tesla in November 2016. This is an acquired and absorbed business, not a project Tesla founded or a claim that all of its solar operations closed. It is excluded from the ended-project count.
About the dates
Dates cover the independent company through Tesla’s acquisition, not the end of solar installations.
