I've been a customer of Vivint Solar since 2014. Generally satisfied. My average monthly bill with Vivint is $135. I haven't paid SDG&E a dime for 5 years.

George M Daluz Escalon, CA

I have had my Vivint solar for 3 years now. My energy bill has gone up and my year true ups ridiculous no matter what I do. I've complained several times and all they do is shuffle me around different so called customer service people. I last dealt with a Jennifer from Utah, she sent someone out who left a note that said "system is underperforming". I've since called her and left vm's 3 times, and no return call. This company is not interested in customer service! Please do not use them. I wish I had checked reviews before signing a contract.

I am having a problem with customer service and Sales People that lie to you. My system was down for 6 weeks durring the summer and they never knew about it despite the sales man telling me that "we would know about a problem before you ever do". I get answers like we have too many people to monitor every system or it's your fault for not checking it! Stay away! Everything they promised was a lie!!

My name is Rosa I have 30 Vivant panels on my home in Madera CA and for the last 3 years these panels have not worked sufficiently. Vivant breached there contract but even with the numerous hours I wasted dealing with them. They refuse to remove there junk panels. I now have an attorney but before I file suit I suggest to everyone file your complaints Better Buisness Bureau, Social Media, even the Media. Class Action Lawsuit Time for these thieves

Karin Copperopolis, CA

When we signed our power purchase agreement mid 2018, we asked several times about a backup battery. Our sales person flat out lied to us (when you call Vivint they apologize for the miscommunication). We were told that a battery was available but was not approved by California but not to worry as we could get it installed when one was available. Well, one is available and we are now being told that it can only be installed when the system is installed. What liars!!! What a fraud!!!

Salesperson rude, condescending, unprofessional, and certainly made comments that you should be ashamed to have had him represent your company. A 90 year old man , who does not own the house, of which the salesperson was told, was being solicited to buy product. I, the owner of the house was notified by family, as I own the home. I asked him how to spell name of company and he told me “I was a big girl and could look it up myself@ I told him to get off the property. If that is how prospective customers, you need to be out of business!!!!

One of the worst moves I have ever made was to sign up with Vivint. The salesman lied about savings(There isn't any), pricing and customer service. Installed in Feb '18 and finally running in May '19. Spoke to someone about my roof leaking after installation. It is Sept '19 and still have not received any response from company. My electric bills are now at least $60.00 a month more than when I just had UI. I HAVE NOW SHUT THE SOLAR OFF

I WISH I COULD LEAVE A ZERO STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWFUL COMPANY, DON'T DO IT. THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSPECTED THE ROOF AND SAID IT WAS FINE TO INSTALL SOLAR. WELL SHORT TIME LATER, I NEED A NEW ROOF AND NOW THEY WANT $2,900 TO TAKE THE PANELS OFF AND RE-INSTALL THEM, AFTER I WAS TOLD IN THE BEGINING IT WOULD BE AROUND $500. I AM CONTACTING THE ATT. GENERAL'S OFFICE AND THE BBB AND ANYONE ELSE TO GET THIS DAMAGING CRAP OFF OF MY ROOF. THEY TOTALLY MIS-REPRESENTED THEMSELVES AND LIED ABOUT THE ROOF.

Worst customer service experienced ever. No one answers the phone and no one calls back if you leave a message. The power offset that was promised is not there. My electric bill remains the same amount of usage with or without the system. I can't get any help from anyone because all they care about is if their system is running so they can collect their payments. They have zero interest in helping me get the system working properly.

Once equipment was installed it took two months to get it activated. They do not send bills on time, but give you a hard time if you don't pay on time. They prefer deduction directly from your account rather than Bill. If given a choice, I would not recommend Vivint Solar to my worst enemy, and definitely not a friend or relative.

Just found out our system has been offline since May of 2018. Yes - that's year 2018. With absolutely no notification from Vivent. Hit with exorbitant PG&E - NEM charges that I cannot get rectified. Asked for verification if actual production from panels ever really went into the grid -- No Vivent response. Re-requested email verification -- No Vivent response. Still waiting for a technician to come fix the problem. What a nightmare.

Wow, so surprised their replies to reviews are so quick.....been waiting to operate over a year and half!!! With summer almost over they haven’t been helpful at all. All I get are excuses.....and that’s when I call because after the panels were installed they quit calling me! No updates period!

SELLING YOU STUFF is their ONLY GOAL. go someplace else. I have 40 panels from these CROOKS who PROMISED ME that a battery backup is COMING REAL SOON. well, it's here BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE BECAUSE we only put it on NEW SYSTEMS. SO, when there is a power failure or earthquake, I have FORTY PANELS THAT ARE USELESS. Oh, and NO ONE BUT Vivint can touch the system BY CONTRACT so I can't even have an outside company come and fix their STUPIDITY.

I don’t know where to begin, except that every state that allows Vivint Solar to do business in their state should be ashamed of themselves. Vivint misrepresents itself and it’s service on so many levels, there isn’t enough room in this box to list them all. Maura H, the Massachusetts Attorney General, should be at the top of the list. I worked with the AG’s office and Vivint for more than two years without getting any answers. How many reviews on this page alone have received “I’m sorry” from Vivint and nothing more. These reviews more than speak for themselves.

Worst company ever. They sold a bogus bill of goods to an 88 year old man, who passed away shortly after. We are selling the home, and have tried for a month to contact Vivant to cancel (as is our right), or even to find out about transferring service. Emails, unanswered phone calls, countless hours on hold and we are absolutely no further than when we started. We are now contacting the Attorney General. I am in real estate, so will make it a point to spread the word about Vivant. Never had problems with Solar City or any other companies for that matter.

If I could give them less than a 1 I would. My panels were installed on June 19th of 2018. As of today (April 8th 2019) I still do not have permission to operate my panels. Vivint tells me they are waiting on PG&E, but after 3 hours on the phone and numerous transfers through PG&E one of the supervisors tells me they still have not received the pictures from when Vivint installed the panels. Even worse, they don’t do anything to try to resolve the problem.

Janet Correa Tehama, CA

We had Vivint Solar install solar panels thinking solar power would be cheaper than paying PG&E here in California. Now we get a power bill from both Vivint AND PG&E and we pay much more than we did before the panels were installed. Also, the solar power system doesn't work without WiFi so that is an additional expense we didn't have before the panels. They also wired our power panel wrong so breakers switch off for no reason throughout the day and night leaving us in the dark. So far they have not fixed this ongoing problem. This is nothing but environmental extortion.

I am very disappointed with Vivint Solar. I have called the company numerous times with questions that I never get a straight answer to. I was promised a lower rate with Vivint than what my electric company has, but it has not been lowered at all. It is not fair that I have to pay more than my electric company has. And I am not saving money like I was told I would. I have more than 30 panels..and my bill is higher now than it was before solar. So I will not recommend this solar company to anyone.

I contacted them several times and they are not responding to my issues , they are redirecting my calls to different departments.

I signed up for Vivint Solar in February 2017, with the promise that I would be billed at Edison Tier one levels. Unbeknownst to me Tier billing was scheduled to end July 2017. Vivint moved slowly through the installation process, completing the project at the end of August 2017. I am now being billed at Time of Day billing which is much more expensive than Tier One billing. I'm not saving any money,

They told me 50% savings however there cost per kilowatt hour was 11 cents and I pay 14 cents per kilowatt hour now. So I guess they took me for a fool.

The best thing I did with Vivent solar was to buy out the system and get them out of the equation for my home. I would highly recommend to buy a solar system and NOT lease one even if the lease company is perfect. The lease company puts a lean on your house. At the end of the 20 year lease you own nothing and they still have you hand cuffed with the lean. Worse even, most people do not want to assume this bad lease when you go to sell hour house.

Don’t believe the Sales People with this company. I didn’t want Solar to begin with but the Sales Rep made sense. So we got installed and all was great. 4 months later and panels aren’t turned on and my first payment came out of my bank account. The sales rep is no where to be found and Vivint interconnection team can not get their stuff together for the paperwork the electric company is asking for .. so learn from me ... save the aggravation and don’t do it.

Horrible experience with Vivint. They authorized and signed a contract with a tenant of my house without consulting the owners (me) and installed a system on my roof. Proving to customer solutions that the installation was illegal and should immediately be removed, they are no longer returning my calls or emails and are absolutely dragging their feet to remove system. I may have to sue the company for damages to my home just to get the system removed from my house.

First off i purchased my system. The install went great and the system produces more than i expected. I give them 1 star for the monitoring of the system. Like i said i bought my system, but Vivint Solar will not allow me to monitor the individual performance of the panels, just the overall system performance. When asked for the access to monitor by panel I am told that while i own my system they own the monitoring rights....hmmm

We got a huge bill ($1000) at the end of the year plus we pay Vivint monthly... how the heck is that saving money? My SCE bill was cheaper before these solar panels!

Awful customer service! Salesman lied to me sold me a huge system That would take care of all of our electrical needs plus some haha! But he did not tell me my electric company Has a net metering cap and will only buy my electric back at wholesale price so my bill should only go down about 50%!!!!! They don’t call you back I have called,text, Emailed and used social media to try to get answers and help! Wish I never did business with this company!

Worst costumer service! Their panels left a 3 leaks in our roof, it took them 6 months to fix, it has now been a year and they have yet to put all the panels back on. We have a huge pg&e bill every month and Viviant refuses to compensate our pg&e bill until all panels are back on but they keep procrastinating on getting all the panels back on. Every department continues to transfer us back and forth and every supervisor is always busy. Worst experience ever!!

Vivnat sold solar to my elderly parents said they would qualify for the rebates knowing they were on social security. They were also told they could sell their home and sell the solar to knew buyer. Well we just found out the solar is $90k they get no rebate obviously and now they have to sell the home and pay them $45k an attorney is now involved.

Sales person came to door. Did a brief review, I seemed to more know then they did about the Solar options. Came back two more times and sales person still wasn't sure about all our questions.

So far everything has been exactly as they said it would be and everyone that has been here installing or prepping has been wonderful.

Horrible horrible experience. The sleaze bag representative completely lied to us and now we are trying to find a way to remove or buy our panels so we can sell our house. The guy told us that they will remove the panels if we go to sell the house and it would void the contract... Big big lie. He had us sign electronically and didnt provise us a copy. He pulled a fast one on us complete with a bold faced lie. The company also messed up our roof tiles and blew our pg&e metwr during installation. Do not use them. Stick to pg&e. It was actually cheaper for us to not have solar.
