What the press release talks about is combined installation of solar panels and Tesla home infrastructure (charging station + Powerwall). I think that speaks to the sales perspective too - it could be very easy to upsell the (incoming) Tesla customer to a Tesla + SolarCity installation, for a lower CAC than the usual SolarCity sale.
