Aaron M Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I cant speak for their service or quality but this doesn't look good and I cant imagine they'll get out of this one with multiple fires on record. Also probably something to be aware of if you were considering going solar thru themhttps://electrek.co/2019/08/20/tesla-walmart-remove-solar-systems-fires/?fbclid=IwAR0jh3j8EHItnz_2uKGg75Ue06svnc__nX7a_EFmbfTZoUhcAHWr0WacJg8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Holtz Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I would like to see some of the fire marshal reports on those fires to see what they concluded. Sure there could be bad components on a solar array but overall there isn't a ton that can do a lot of damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexar Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It was, notably, a SolarCity installation. I do wonder if, given that it is Wal-Mart, that rats got onto the roof and chewed through the wires. It also could be inadequate ventilation or water drainage. Who did the installation? Who else goes on the roof? Sabotage? Despite evidence to the contrary, I am ruling out aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron M Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Well Elon has been involved with solar City before it was bought by Tesla so to me being technically a different company really doesn't mean a whole lot. But yeah seems kinda strange. The details of them cutting corners on the inspections are kinda concerning though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Christian Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Like most everything Tesla/Solar related, news changes by the day. Now Wal-Mart and Tesla will be "working together". Tesla and Walmart are looking to re-energize 240+ solar systems and avoid removing them https://electrek.co/2019/08/23/tesla-walmart-energize-solar-systems-avoid-removing-them/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
