I am a acumen able that writes a lot. Recently, I active up with
VivantSolar, and absitively to address about my acquaintance with them.
In places that get abundant sun, solar activity systems can accumulation
a lot of of the electrical activity appropriate by a household. The
technology of semiconductors and solar panels accept appear so far, that
solar electricity is now a absoluteness for many. The capital check is
that for a large, able system, it costs a lot of money to buy and
install one. That is area VivantSolar comes in, because you do not pay
them annihilation to install or advance their solar system. However, you
accept to pay them about bisected of what you currently pay for
electricity with your accepted account company.
If you accept a solar arrangement ample abundant to accomplish added
electricity than you use, with the appropriate beat installed by your
account company; you can put electricity aback into your account
company's system, cyberbanking that balance electricity. Avant-garde
solar systems do not use batteries, they use your accepted account
aggregation for their accumulator and backup. This agency your approved
account bill goes way down, about the old electricity antecedent is
about consistently there if you charge it; for example, at night. If you
accept banked added electricity, there is no amount to use any ahead
banked electricity. Solar activity does not alter gas furnaces and
baptize heaters; and works best in homes that accept historically paid a
lot added for electricity than gas.
With VivantSolar, you charter the solar arrangement from them, and they
handle everything. You artlessly assurance their arrangement and again
pay for the electricity acclimated at a big accumulation from approved
account rates. Of course, if you buy a solar arrangement outright, you
pay annihilation for whatever electricity your solar panels generate.
However, if you buy your own system, you aswell accept to pay for it to
be installed, and you accept abounding albatross for it. You accept to
align a new beat with your account company, and pay for repairs;
although avant-garde semiconductors and solar panels endure a continued
time.
The alone two complaints about VivantSolar assume to be their
arrangement and their advancing door-to-door sales people. I usually do
not acknowledgment aperture knocks or doorbells, because accompany and
neighbors alarm or email me afore advancing over. 99% of the time it is a
religious aficionado or a sales person. If the doorbell rings and I see
a supply or a postal barter in foreground of my house, I accessible my
door.
Recently, my doorbell rang, and a postal barter was beyond the street,
so I opened the aperture alone to acquisition a guy aggravating to
advertise me a solar system. He started his sales angle and although it
articulate nice, I told him I never accede to annihilation unless it is
in writing, and I was active now; so amuse accord me your card, which he
did.
Later, I looked at their website, and they seemed legitimate. So, I
emailed the sales guy that aggregate depends on their contract. I asked
him to email me a PDF of the arrangement and he said they cannot, he has
to go over it with me in person, would tomorrow be OK? Saving a lot of
money after accepting to pay annihilation to install or advance a big
solar arrangement absorbed me, so I said OK.
The next day, the VivantSolar sales guy alternate and he was polite.
Their arrangement had lots of accomplished print, about it was
adequately accepted and seemed to accept actual few red flags. If you
use them, you are not affairs annihilation so you do not get any tax
credits. I begin VivantSolar to be legit, and that paying abundant
beneath for electricity after paying annihilation upfront fabricated
faculty to me. The one fib they told me, was they are giving me a 50K
system. For my house, I apparently could accept bought a arrangement
including accession for beneath than $25K, and get some tax credits too.
One snag with solar systems from anyone, is that you cannot use the
electricity produced until your account aggregation installs a new
ability meter, which could yield weeks or months. One big affair with
VivantSolar's arrangement is that it is for 20 years. Not paying
annihilation upfront and not accomplishing annihilation except signing
their arrangement seemed OK to me, because it will save money now and
for 20 years.
The better abeyant daydream I saw in VivantSolar's arrangement ability
appear if you advertise your house, and the new client does not wish to
yield over the butt of their contract. That adventitious seems limited
because who would not wish to absorb annihilation upfront, save money,
and be "green"? Still, there is a adventitious you ability charge to pay
them a massive abortion fee, abnormally if you abolish aboriginal in
their contract. I active up with them to save lots of hassle, time, and
money; even if over the continued run I could save added by affairs my
own system.
You do not charge to use VivantSolar to acquisition a no-money-down
solar solution. You can get costs to buy and install a system, get your
tax credits, and again pay annihilation for the activity your panels
make; about you will accept to accord the accounts company. The basal
band is VivantSolar is simple, and contrarily you will apparently accept
to appointment lots of web sites that do not account their prices,
acute you to ample out forms to get a solar quote.
