        Buffalo (Buffalo Billion) funded a deal with the Solar City to make panels & they outfit couldn’t make a customer appealing panel color or compete with the quickly dropping price of Chinese imports. Even after Telsa took over his cousins operation they had the same trouble when even trying to adapt it to roof tiles so to satisfy the obligation for employment numbers they just had workers improve their Mapping systems.
