“To state the obvious, properly designed, installed, inspected, and maintained solar systems do not spontaneously combust,' Walmart says.
Walmart Inc. is suing Tesla Inc. over a spate of roof fires at several Walmart stores that the retailer alleges were caused by Tesla solar panels.
“To state the obvious, properly designed, installed, inspected, and maintained solar systems do not spontaneously combust, and the occurrence of multiple fires involving Tesla’s solar systems is but one unmistakable sign of negligence by Tesla,” according to the complaint filed on Tuesday.Tesla did not immediately return a request for comment. A Walmart spokesperson said it had “nothing more to add” beyond the complaint.
According to the complaint, the stores affected were among the more than 240 Walmart stores that had leased or licensed roof space to Tesla for the installation of solar panels. By May 2018, however, it was “clear that Tesla had breached its contractual obligations,” and was asked to disconnect the systems, and Tesla complied, the complaint said. That was not enough to prevent another fire, this time in Yuba City, California, Walmart said in the complaint. The complaint also cites rooftop fires before 2018.
