Tesla will not renew its agreement with Home Depot to sell solar panels and battery packs at the retailer’s stores.

PVBUZZ Media reported back in February, that Tesla would begin selling its solar panels and home battery packs at over 800 Home Depot stores.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said most Tesla employees who had worked at the company’s Home Depot displays will be allowed to work at Tesla’s stores.

The company will now focus on selling its energy products in its stores and on its website.

This announcement went public after an internal email from Elon Musk to his team leaked.

The email also announced that the company would be laying off more than 9 percent of its workforce to generate profit.
