CEO Today USA Awards

www.ceotodaymagazine.com 102 CEO Today USAAwards 2017 UTAH WHAT WE DO Founded in 2011, Vivint Solar provides homeowners with simple and affordable clean energy. We believe that going solar should be headache and hassle-free. That’s why we supply the solar panels, and take care of all the installation and maintenance—for little to no upfront cost. WHY WE DO IT Today, electricity generated by fossil fuels accounts for 80% of carbon dioxide emissions.* Plus, it’s expensive. We offer a cleaner and safer alternative so that we can all feel good about energy again. HOW WE DO IT We’re able to offset expensive electricity prices because our solar panels produce energy much more efficiently than traditional utilities. You save money by paying for power at a rate that’s lower than what your utility can provide. OUR APPROACH: A BETTER CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE That means 94-point quality inspections on our solar panels, and step-by-step support. It means we don’t outsource installations, and we don’t cut corners. Most importantly, it means you’ll never be left in the dark. BETTER SERVICE IS IN OUR DNA The Vivint brand has been rewriting the book on customer experience since 1999. Our sister company, Vivint Smart Home, paved the way by providing award-winning service to over one million customers. See how we’re bringing the same stuff to solar. www.vivintsolar.com FIRM PROFILE ABOUT DAVID BYWATER David Bywater is the Chief Executive Officer at Vivint Solar, a leading full-service residential solar integrator.
