Tesla / Solar City must have absolutely butchered these installs. Walmart is suing them to remove solar systems they've installed on 240 stores after fires have broken out due to faulty installs on 7 of them. People often ask us why we prefer to use local or regional, medium sized install partners as opposed to the nationwide companies they've all heard of. In our experience, we've found the crews to simply be more qualified with the focus of the project on quality and longevity as opposed to speed. Throw in significantly better pricing and equipment, it's not surprising that so many of the national companies have gone under or have undeniably bad reputations (SunEdison, Sungevity, Solar City, Vivint.)
After Elon Musk touts Tesla solar on Twitter, Walmart sues the electric vehicle and clean energy company over store rooftop panels that ignited.
