- Vivint_Solar abstract "Vivint Solar, Inc. (logotyped as vivint.solar) is a privately held Solar Energy company that was launched in 2011 by its parent company Vivint, Inc. as a solar electricity provider that designs, installs, and maintains residential photovoltaic systems. Vivint Solar operates in 6 states (New Jersey, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Maryland, New York and California), and the District of Columbia, with expansive marketing programs in those markets. The company installs solar panels at no cost to the homeowner, via a power purchase agreement (PPA). Vivint Solar owns, installs, and maintains solar panels on customers’ homes in exchange for customers agreeing to purchase the solar energy their panels produce. Customers do not pay for installation, but pay for energy that the panels produce, for the life of the contracts, at rates substantially lower than their previous electric utility charges. Vivint Solar locks in the customer’s rate for power over the 20 year period of the PPA, so even if the local utility rates increase or decreases, the customer's rate does not. Vivint Solar is similar to other alternative solar companies like SolarCity, SunRun, and Sungevity. Its innovation in the field is the use of microinverters for each separate solar panel, allowing maximum production when some of the panels are in the shade, as well as a quick installation using Zep Solar technology.Vivint Solar is considered a green home technology company and is presently the fastest growing solar energy company in the U.S. using the power purchase agreement (PPA) model. It uses fleet vehicles carrying the traditional vivint orange coloration.Vivint Solar (www.VivintSolar.com) is a separate company from Vivint, Inc. (www.Vivint.com) and has its own management, offices, and staff. Its current CEO is Greg Butterfield, who joined the company in fall of 2013. Vivint, Inc. owns Vivint Solar but this is the only real connection between the two entities.Vivint Solar is currently rated C+ by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and is not accredited by the BBB. In November 2012, the Blackstone Group acquired a controlling interest in Vivint, Vivint Solar, and 2GIG Technologies for in excess of $2 billion.ApproachMost of Vivint Solar's growth has come from door-to-door sales. The company was founded by a former Mormon missionary who knocked on doors as part of his assignment. After seeing first hand the effectiveness of engaging people face-to-face, he created a solar marketing model that relied heavily on the door-to-door sales pitch. Today, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints members make up roughly half of the company's salesforce and door-to-door sales remain the center of Vivint Solar's customer acquisition process.Corporate HistoryIn October 2011, home automation company, Vivint, Inc., started and incorporated a new, solar division of their company, Vivint Solar. After Vivint, Inc.’s Blackstone acquisition in 2012, the solar division evolved and became Vivint Solar, LLC., a separate, but related company.".
