How will Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) benefit from this? Beyond the free testing SolarCity will be doing, Tesla will show the world that its batteries have uses beyond powering the Model S sedan. With many investors and analysts concerned that vehicle production and sales will take too long to reach scale, any viable alternative revenue generator should be welcomed. Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s battery could be appealing to many solar companies in the future, not just its sister company SolarCity Corp (NASDAQ:SCTY).

Bottom line
The news does not have an immediate effect on either company’s prospects, but illustrates a very applicable, beneficial relationship between the two. At the forefront of either company’s playbook is innovation, and this is prime example of simple yet effective collaborations.
