Not only this, but they state "'thousands' of bogus SolarCity accounts may have been created". The average install is $15K-29K [0]. So even is there was 1000 fake accounts at $15k that's $15 million in missing sales?

Add to that even though SolarCity's revenues were about $480M it looks like almost half of that was from leases and incentives [1]. So on the lowest end we are saying 5% of all revenue was faked?
