way of looking at the world. a new company is taking on cooper. right now, shares plunged today as much as 25%. the biggest fall since 2012. one of the reasons for solar flow. fall is the cash they deemphasized earlier goals of signing up one million customers by 2018. another companies think 13% -- sank 13%. we're glad to have you.

let me start with you. shows that the stock was only down. i don't care about the stock. i want to talk to you. is this different than what happened to the rest of solar? forcing prices fall across the industry. -- i we seeing the same thing across the industry? year,the end of next solar city will have a tax credit, which will be beneficial for the bottom line. cory: the tax break makes all the difference. >> it can make a big difference. it can also make it a big difference how much the people on the grid. utilities are pushing back against solar companies -- how much electricity it is putting on the grid. utilities are pushing back against solar companies.

there is more than 20 years. they suggest you will not just get the first 20 years of performance, but an extra 10. how long do you think the average duration of the solar panel will continue to crank out as much energy as it does on youear one or year five? >> there off the shelf. we do not manufacture them -- they are off the shelf. solar city does not manufacture them. they're under warranty. standard.s is the china -- are made in china. those installed in japan and germany were installed in the 80's and work today. cory: with significantly decrea

sed capacity. yearsea they can run 40 from now, is that realistic? question, important especially when the technology is improving in performance on panel to the next. cory: but the panels on your roof are degrading. >> it varies on who you talk to. most people expect the capacity to degrade. maybe it'll be 20 years, maybe 30 years. the last thing i want to bring up as natural gas. cory: you cover all energy. that is important component. the value of solar is great when compared to cold or natural -- to expensive coal or expensive natural gas.
