Tesla Energy Solar Power company history timeline

2015

In October 2015, a quarter of SolarCity's value got wiped out, meaning it lost its "unicorn" status (a unicorn is a company valued at more than $1 billion).

In 2015, a year before the acquisition, SolarCity was the leading national residential solar contractor, according to Solar Power World.

In 2015, SolarCity had one-third of the market while Sunrun had 5 percent.

2016

Musk debuted the Solar Roof in October 2016 during a glitzy event on a house from the show "Desperate Housewives."

A regulatory filing showed SolarCity had started 2016 with 15,273 staff but by the end of 2016, it had 12,243.

Tesla stepped in and purchased SolarCity in 2016 for a sum of $2.6 billion.

2017

Lyndon Rive announced in May 2017 that he would be leaving Tesla in June.

2019

Walmart filed a lawsuit against Tesla in August 2019 claiming the fires were the result of "widespread negligence" on Tesla's part.

Tesla did not start actually installing Solar Roof until 2019.

In one instance, Walmart reported seven separate fires that began from poorly installed Tesla panels in 2019.

2020

Sunrun acquired Vivint in October 2020, consolidating its market share.

2021
