- I was a Vivint salesman, and had Vivint Solar Panels installed on my own home last year. I was so disappointed with my own system that I left the company. Watch the video to find out why! Have YOU had a terrible experience with Vivint? Let us know. Please like and share!
If you've had a frustrating experience with Vivint Solar or any other solar company we want to hear about it! Please tell us about it in the comments.
Bad Company....
We are in escrow with a home that has vivint lease panel. Im starting to think its a bad idea.
@@amysalvador4460 lease or ppa?
@@johngonzalez7435 lease
@@amysalvador4460 Vivint predominately uses a PPA but I do remember there being a lease for a short while in 2020. The ppa has a transfer guarantee.
So sorry you are going through this, th for your video, I've been having problems with them for past 3 years and contacted State Attorney general office who is helping with the situation
Had vivant in an old home. It was awful. I won't do solar panels again.
Thank you so much for the heads up! I was about to say YES to this co.

I'm a Vivint Solar PPA customer, activated since August of '17, and so far everything is exactly what I was to expect. I haven't paid the grid electric company since March of '18 (for Feb. electricity) and am paying Vivint exactly what I would expect. I keep record of how much electricity the panels produce and calculate by the agreed upon rate per kWh. So far, no surprises at all. I'm looking forward to the end of year 6 when they'll make me an offer to buy out the contract. If their offer is significantly less than what I've already calculated my total payments will amount to through years 7-20, factoring in the annual 2.9% increase, I may take them up on it. Anyway, I'm not a shill or an employee. I'm a customer and have zero bad experience thus far.
The company went above and beyond to get me off the peak payers utility company.
I'm glad your system is working as expected! As I said in the video, it isn't the system that concerns me. If there's an issue with the system, that's where the fun begins. The good news with your ppa is that you don't pay if the system isn't producing. They don't offer that in Utah, so we got a loan, which we must pay regardless of output.
I have a PPA with Vivint, I wish I never did it. Also there's no way to get out of my contract
Great video. But this video should ONLY be about your experience with the install, not your departure from working there.
This video was made about 6 months ago. Curious JK, do you still feel the way you do?
Thanks for the note. Nothing has changed - good or bad. We haven't needed another service call so there's no other data. And to top it all off, after our first year, our production was down almost 7% from what they claimed the system was going to produce. And it has NOT been a particularly cloudy or snowy year. More reasons not to trust them.
@@JayBearjaysbigadventure washing the panels can give one a 7% boost and they dont' control the weather, lets not go there.
This is not a one size fits all decision. Each State is different. With reduction of Fed Tax Credit, a surplus of energy, and vanishing or non existent SREC's, you need to understand and know what your are getting. Example, NJ is still a good deal, Pa is not. It's simple numbers and don't let a Sales Rep mislead you. Watch when they figure your electric cost. A rep might take the bill and divide by number of Kw's. Only problem is a lot of Utilities charge a Service Charge, sometimes as much as $15 per month. And you will pay that every month and must be deducted from your total electric cost to get a real kw charge. If you catch the rep doing this, throw them out! Sales people make a good buck off of you, and this is not a short term commitment. Be smart! Just saying, know what you are doing.
Thanks Thomas. You're 100% correct. I LOVE solar, and both of our homes are solar powered. But just be very very careful when choosing a company. One of our homes are with a local company and they've never failed to excel when I've called them. Vivint on the other hand... :(
This guy is on a mission. He’s on every VIVINT solar video.. There’s tons of happy VIVINT customers!
There are, until you have a problem. That's why I'm doing this. Do you know how many Vivint techs there are in your state? There are only two in Utah. We're currently experiencing 100+ mph winds today (9-8-2020) and I'm praying I don't have an issue with my system...
Vivint solar is amazing no issues works great here in Texas !
