SAN FRANCISCO — After seeing at least 10 employees decamp for a rival, clean energy provider SolarCity Corp. shot back Monday with a suit accusing its competition of conspiring to steal confidential customer information and other trade secrets.

SolarCity’s attorneys at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati allege that Rohnert Park–based Soligent Distribution, which supplies solar energy equipment, recruited its employees “with the intent of obtaining SolarCity trade secret information.”
