Tesla Inc. (TSLA) has agreed to pay $6 million to settle a lawsuit over its energy division's solar roof.

The lawsuit was brought in the U.S. District Court of San Francisco, where the plaintiff claimed Tesla hiked the price of installiജng solar panels on their house b🐼y more than $70,000 after signing the contract. 

The plaintiff filed the lawsuit in May 2021, claiming Tesla hiked the pr💎ice to install rooftop solar panels from $72,000 to $146,000.

The lawsuit alleged that nearly 8,636 customers of Tesla Solar Roof were affected by the price hikes made in 2021. The price hikꦫe led to more than 6,300 canceling their Solar Roof contracts with Tesla Energy while the company was able to complete only 1,656 Solar Roof contracts at the original price quoted to customers.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during the company's first-quarter 2021 earnings call the company made some significant mistakes in assessing how much Solar Roofs should cost, leading to massive price hikes.

“Some roofs are to be literally two or thr𒆙ee times easier than other roofs,” Musk said during the earnings call. “If a roof has a lot of protuberances or if the core structure of the roof is rotted out or is not strong enough to hold the Solar Roof, then the cost can be double, sometimes three times what our initial quotes were.”

Musk clarified that the com𒈔pany refunded early deposits made for the Solar Roofs.

The electric vehicle maker deployed 67 mega-watts of so🍨lar equipment, logging a 40% increase year-over-year. Tesla doesn’t quantify how much of the deployment was tra♔ditional solar products versus its Solar Roof.

The company reported revenue of $23.3 billion in the first quarter of 2023, a 24% year-over-year increase.

Tesla stock spent much of Tuesday in the red, before reboundi♎♊ng to close up 0.1% at $269.83 per share.
