LEHI, Utah, July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivint Solar, Inc.,
(NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar provider,
today announced it has expanded availability of its solar energy
systems into Virginia.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration,
Virginia generates just 0.09
percent of its electricity from solar energy, underscoring a great
opportunity for rooftop solar in the state.* Governor McAuliffe
recently signed clean energy legislation to promote the use of
solar and other renewable energy options.**
"We applaud Virginia's
commitment to grow its clean energy sector and are thrilled to
bring Vivint Solar's affordable solar energy services to this
promising market," said David
Bywater, CEO of Vivint Solar. "With Vivint Solar,
Virginia residents can take their
first step toward energy independence and do so in a way that can
benefit their wallets and the environment."
Residents in Virginia can
purchase a system from Vivint Solar outright or finance the
purchase with monthly payments, either through one of the
institutions Vivint Solar has relationships with or their preferred
lender. Customers will also be eligible to apply for any applicable
utility-sponsored rebates and federal tax credits. Virginia residents who wish to install solar
energy systems can interconnect to the grid under traditional net
metering.
As part of each sale, Vivint Solar designs and installs the
system, allowing customers to enjoy the benefits of affordable,
renewable solar energy. Vivint Solar has deep installation
expertise, having completed over 100,000 installations throughout
the United States.
Vivint Solar now operates in 20 states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey,
New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Carolina,
Texas, Utah, Vermont
and Virginia).
