LEHI, Utah, June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivint Solar, Inc.,
(NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar provider, today announced that it plans to re-enter the Nevada market to bring its affordable residential solar systems to residents. Vivint Solar announced its
intention to restore operations in the state following the Nevada Legislature's passing of Assembly Bill 405 and stated
commitment by Governor Sandoval to sign the bill into law.
Vivint Solar closed its operations in Nevada in 2015 following regulation that changed solar
net energy metering rules and the state's primary utility reaching its net metering cap. AB 405 reinstates a policy that allows
Nevada residents to be reimbursed for excess rooftop solar generation, while providing
additional rights to protect consumers and their solar energy system investments.
"We are very pleased Nevada officials have recognized the broad public support of rooftop
solar and reestablished the state's commitment to the future of renewable energy," said David
Bywater, CEO of Vivint Solar. "This bill demonstrates the power of building consensus across stakeholders to find a
win-win-win solution for the residential solar industry, utilities and Nevada consumers. We look
forward to bringing jobs, consumer choice and affordable solar power back to the state of Nevada."
Vivint Solar expects to create up to 60 jobs in Nevada in the coming months and approximately
100 total jobs once it fully resumes operations in the state.
Once it returns to Nevada, Vivint Solar will operate in 18 states (Arizona, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Texas and Utah) and Washington D.C.
