What a great idea. SolarCity is offering bonds starting at $1000 each, giving regular folks a way to invest in solar energy.
From ThinkProgress...
It’s a way for a company to build up capital to finance future expansions, particularly in its start-up years. SolarCity’s bonds will be sold in $1,000 increments, and will be available to any U.S. citizen, 18 or older, with a domestic bank account. The bonds will mature in one, two, three, or seven years, and will offer interest rates between two and four percent.
