Elon Musk's cousin and SolarCity's CEO Lyndon Rive said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg that it will decrease the required FICO score to purchase their panels below 650 by the second quarter of 2016, opening the company's product up to a broader, and less financially stable market. FICO scores are credit ratings assigned to consumers, with lower scores meaning greater risk that the buyer will default. The average buyer at SolarCity usually has a very strong credit score of roughly 750, reports Bloomberg.
