LEHI, Utah, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For homeowners
considering going solar, evaluating installer options can be a
daunting task as the industry works to define quality benchmarks
and regulations. To help advance consumer education and set the
gold standard, Vivint Solar, Inc. (NYSE: VSLR), a leading
full-service residential solar provider, today released a
behind-the-scenes look at its rigorous 86-point installation
process, giving would-be buyers a complete understanding of what to
look for when selecting an installer and pitfalls to avoid. The
information is available on Vivint Solar's website.
"Solar is new territory for a lot of homeowners, and while
everyone loves the thought of saving money through a solar-powered
home, installations are very complex and can have serious
consequences when done incorrectly," said Vivint Solar CEO
David Bywater. "Vivint Solar is
deeply committed to leading the residential solar industry when it
comes to safety, security, and peace of mind for homeowners who are
investing in a clean energy system they expect to last 20 to 30
years. We have installed solar on nearly 150,000 homes, and with
quality as a top priority, are happy to share our knowledge with
others to help set standards as the industry matures."
Vivint Solar's quality focus—which has the company often
exceeding code requirements for solar panel installations in the 22
states in which it operates—is helping set the tone for the
industry-at-large. Recently, the Solar Energy Industries
Association (SEIA), the national trade association of the U.S.
solar energy industry, turned to Vivint Solar when it was
developing industry best practices. The SEIA Quality Assurance
Working Group incorporated the company's guidelines in its
residential Installation Best Practices Guide that was
released earlier this year. In recognition of its track record of
quality, Vivint Solar also recently received the 2019 Quality
Solar Installer designation from the New
York State Energy Research & Development (NYSERDA).
As a hallmark of its quality assurances, Vivint Solar's 86-point
process is the most rigorous in the industry and ensures safe,
secure solar installations that work seamlessly with the home.
Through educational videos and a checklist, homeowners will learn
about key installation steps, including structural mounts,
overcurrent protection, wiring and labeling, grounding and bonding,
system monitoring and more. An incorrect or sub-standard
installation can lead to many costly mistakes, from leaky roofs, to
weight-bearing issues, wiring misfires, underperforming systems and
potential structural damage.
