REUTERS: Walmart Inc on Tuesday sued Tesla Inc , accusing it of"widespread negligence" that led to repeated fires of its solar systems and asking a court to force Tesla to remove solar panels from more than 240 of its U.S. stores.

The fires destroyed significant amounts of store merchandise and required substantial repairs, totaling millions of dollars in losses, Walmart said in the lawsuit.In addition, inspections of the retailer's other Tesla-owned solar installations"displayed troubling problems that were indicative of widespread negligence," the lawsuit said.

Walmart has a goal of sourcing 35 percent of its electricity from renewables by 2020. The retailer was a major customer for SolarCity, which added both residential and commercial installations at a rapid clip while taking on significant debt.
