Tesla and Panasonic expand solar energy deals

Panasonic will invest more than $256 million in a New York production facility of Elon Musk's Tesla Motors to make photovoltaic cells and modules, deepening a partnership of the two companies.

Production at the plant is expected to begin in summer 2017. Tesla and Panasonic plan to eventually build the energy-converting cells and modules used in Tesla's solar glass tile roofs.
