Homebuilders: SunPower must stop the threat of solar power outages
Homebuilder Meritage Homes Corp. has filed a motion in bankruptcy court to compel SunPower Corp. to stop informing its customers that it will remotely disable solar equipment next week, due to a dispute between the two parties over who has the right to collect customer account funds. According to a complaint filed Thursday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the lawsuit involves conflicting claims between the two parties regarding who owns and has the right to collect approximately $3.8 million in customer debts. These debts arise from contracts signed between Meritage and SunPower, which were reportedly rejected during Meritage's Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection filing
