Tesla's Carbon Credit and Clean Energy Strategy: Capital Structure Optimization and Financial Stability Analysis in Green Finance

This paper deeply discusses how Tesla's strategic layout in the carbon credit mechanism and clean energy sector caters to the market's ESG standards from the three key perspectives of green finance, capital structure optimization, and financial stability. This paper mainly reveals the contribution rate of carbon credit income in the marginal growth of net profit by constructing a regression analysis model. It is further confirmed that interest-free and low-interest income is essential in capital structure optimization for stabilizing corporate finance and providing reliable cash flow. Meanwhile, SolarCity's upstream and downstream layout in clean and photovoltaic energy has enhanced Tesla's control over resources and the supply side, as well as its stable distribution and bargaining power in the downstream sales market. This paper finally proposes Tesla's competitive position in sustainable development by comparing two sustainable cases in size and synergies. It is solidified by enhancing financial flexibility, improving risk resistance, and accelerating the company's low-carbon transformation through innovation.
