Vivint SolarReviews of vivintsolar.com

Vivint is by far the worst company of any kind I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. They installed panels on my roof in no time and cashed their check quickly. 6 months later I still have ZERO electricity generated and no timetable for when I might possibly have my system online. It is impossible to talk to anyone who knows anything about anything. They are a scam, not a company. UPDATE: Vivint says they are sorry! That’s their solution to our issues. Crazy how that hasn’t helped or changed anything. No one is in charge. Don’t use Vivint!

Vivint is like sleeping with the mob !! Charming at first , and now you can’t get out . They will screw you all the way . Do not sign that contract! Get your power from the electric company. It will cost you a bit more but will save you the aggravation

Their customer service is the worst of any company I’ve ever encountered. Absolutely no desire on their part to finish their solar installation. We have 30+ panels on our roof and 2 wall batteries installed 6 months ago that do nothing.

Adding myself to the list of very unfortunate souls who bought into the con man/salesman presentation. “Bill will go down. You were accepted for free solar because of your high energy bills. We’re going to put enough panels on to bring your bill as close to $0 as possible.” Surprise! Bill has gone up. Paying more Vivint than SoCalEdison without their panels. Being out of work because of COVID-19 for a year is capped off by being scammed by Vivint. There is certainly a special place in Hell for them. Stay away folks.

We have saved nothing. My bill is the same after the panels were installed. When we review usage on the app, we actually have higher usage on days we aren't even in the state and no one is home. I tried to contact them multiple times to explain that. They refuse to answer, saying the account is in mu husbands name. But my name is on the deed to the house. How do they refuse to talk to me when I am on the deed to the house and was present during the process? I had to call multiple times to get the automatic payment straightened out. HORRIBLE customer service. And I honestly feel like I was scammed. The bills is not less than when I had electric, and now we are stuck with them.

We've had solar panels installed in 2017 by Vivint. The first week of installation we had our FIRST roof leak. They fixed it but that was the beginning of the many problems. Multiple roof leaks. One of the solar panels pulled up off our rafter and caused so much damage to our home. First, Vivint sent out a roofer who told us they would fix the damage but then sent another roofer out who then turned around and said they weren't repairing the damage because the roof wasn't installed properly. Now remember I never had a problem with my roof until they were installed. Even though Vivint says they we take care of the panels and damage they might cause that simply isn't true. NOW 2021 I need a whole new roof and all the companies that have come out to give us estimates ask, "WHY WERE SOLAR PANELS INSTALLED ON AN OLD ROOF? So 4 very long years later I need to new roof and VIVINT IS CHARGING US $6400 for removal and storage of the panels. This doesn't include a new roof. Very dishonest and not a good way to treat anyone.

Do not do it! It is a scam! You will sign your life away! Vivint Solar (also called SunRun) is a company that will woo you into thinking they are customer-oriented, responsive, and helpful. Their sales-team is on the ball, ready to get you to sign their contract. When they talk you through the contract, it looks like a win-win situation. This is what they tout: "No up front cost! You pay less per kwh than your local utility company! It's a win-win for the environment and for your utility bill!" I was so ready to do my part for the fight against climate change and start using solar energy, plus get a huge discount on my bill, but I did not read the fine print of the contract. You will sign your life away by signing this contract! Do not do it! Once you have signed their contract and the solar panels are on your roof, they forget about you. . Customer service is unreliable and unable to do anything for you. Managers are unhelpful and never call you back. They use stall tactics. Here is the reality: 1) Your utility bill does NOT go down. It goes UP. Read the fine print! You have to pay for all of the energy your solar panels PRODUCE. Not the energy that you CONSUME. So, if you live in a sunny climate, your panels are going to be constantly producing energy. You will PAY for this energy! Even if you are away on a trip, not using any energy. It's not what you consume, it's what the panels produce! 2) They say they will never place a lien on your home. Guess what? They not only placed a lien on my home, they placed TWO liens on my home! 3) You have to pay them for 20 years! And every year you will see a 2.9% increase. Which is way higher than any increase you will see from your local utility company. Eventually, you are going to be paying through the roof for leasing those solar panels from Vivint. 4) Your roof needs repairing? Forget it. This is where their customer service starts to fail miserably. You need to give them at least 30 days notice. You have to pay a fee to remove and reinstall the panels. You can never get a hold of them. Never mind if your roof is leaking. 5) If you move these are your options: a-you can transfer the system to the new homeowner, b-you can take the system with you, at your own expense and provided that your new home is located within their service territory AND where the sun exposure is not less than your current property, c-you can buy the system from them, whatever the price that they set! Bottom line, don't do it! THEY ARE LIARS AND CROOKS

I had solar panels on the front side of my roof in 2015,and 3 years later was recommended to get panels on the backside of house to save more money(completely false). Now im having leakage on the backside of my house,and they sent out a tech and THEY said its not caused by their panels,its caused by the flashing on the chimney,with is also false I had my chimney inspected,and I had a professional roofer come check out my roof,and its being caused by a one of the screws that went right through my roof of the panels mount when they installed it.vivint is refusing to fix it,and not willing to waive the fee's to have panels removed to replace my roof that clearly isnt caused by chimney.. this company is charging $499 for front and $1650 for backside!!! Total rip off and the worst agreement i have ever done!!! I have started to take legal actions and sent over the contracts,and the roofers statements and photos to my attorney to help me with this problems. I am going to fight to have these panels permanently removed,and recommend anyone NOT to invest in vivint sloar, they are a rip off and you do not save any money,you will deal with headaches for the next 20yrs,if you decide to sign up with them.i am not the only customer going through this,so please look elsewhere!!! Im warning you, do research on this company and save yourself the headaches..I live in the Springfield area in Massachusetts.
