LEHI, Utah, May 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivint Solar
(NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar provider,
today announced it has launched its new retail sales channel.
Vivint Solar will launch kiosks at retail locations in California, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New York and
Utah by the end of June 2017 and expand into additional retail
locations and states throughout the year.
At retail locations, Vivint Solar representatives will help
consumers understand how they can enjoy the benefits of affordable,
renewable solar energy and choose Vivint Solar to design, install
and maintain a system. Consumers can set up a free, in-home solar
consultation to determine whether their home is suitable for solar
panels.
"Expanding into the retail market enables us to diversify how we
can help Americans embrace rooftop solar," said Paul Dickson, chief revenue officer at Vivint
Solar. "Vivint Solar has built the most effective direct-to-home
channel in the industry, and we are excited to grow and support
additional sales channels to complement this highly effective
model."
Vivint Solar's retail channel is led by a team with significant
retail sales experience in the residential solar industry,
including Vice President of Retail Sales Trever Bybee. In his former leadership roles
within the solar industry, Bybee founded a direct retail channel
that grew to over 100 locations nationwide in just six months and
earned him the "2015 Trailblazer of the Year" award. He also
experienced retail sales success as a co-founder and owner of an
exclusive retail team for a top mobile company. Bybee led a retail
sales team that grew business to over 150 employees and
$10 million in annual sales.
"I'm very excited to be heading this sales effort at Vivint
Solar," said Bybee. "With the direct-to-home model being a strong
and well-established route to market, the launch of this additional
channel to work in tandem with the direct-to-home model will be a
great competitive advantage and will contribute to further success
in the selected markets. We're thrilled with the current traction
we're already seeing and look forward to expanding this channel
further in the coming year."
