Tesla’s Q2 2023 solar PV deployment decreased 38% year-on-year to 66MW as its battery storage system additions was met with a slight decrease from the previous quarter.

Its deployed solar was up from 48MW in Q1 2022, but solar deployments dropped sequentially in Q1 2023 mainly due to volatile weather.

Tesla’s Solar Roof technology has fallen short of the company’s deployment targets by some distance, according to a new report from energy analysts Wood Mackenzie.

Tesla navigated supply chain challenges to deploy 348MW of solar in 2022, the company’s highest install figure since 2017, when it added 523MW.

Tesla’s Q3 2022 solar PV deployment increased 13% year-on-year to 94MW as its battery storage system additions reached a quarterly high.

Tesla installed 106MW of solar PV in Q2 2022, its largest quarterly total for more than four years as the firm's energy division rebounded.

A judge has ruled in favour of Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, rejecting a case which claimed he unjustly enriched himself when the company acquired SolarCity in a US$2.6 billion deal in 2016.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he expects the company to address component shortages that limited the progress of its solar business in the first quarter of 2021, as installs decreased 48% year-on-year.

Tesla’s solar installations jumped 68% in 2021 to 345MW despite a slight dip in additions year-on-year during the fourth quarter.

Tesla is being investigated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) following a claim that the company did not appropriately inform its shareholders and the public about potential fire risks from its solar systems, according to a report by Reuters.
