LEHI, Utah, Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivint Solar, Inc. (NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar provider, today announced that it has expanded availability of its solar energy systems into New Hampshire, with services beginning in the Manchester, Nashua and Concord areas.

The New Hampshire market is well positioned for rooftop solar adoption. A recent poll found that four out of five New Hampshire voters favor solar as an energy source*, and over the next five years, the state is expected to install more than 11 times the amount of solar than was installed over the last five years.**

"We're pleased to bring affordable solar power to New Hampshire residents," said David Bywater, CEO of Vivint Solar. "This latest expansion underscores the strong demand for alternative energy sources across the U.S. and gives the people of New Hampshire the opportunity to save money on their utility bills while helping the environment."

Through Vivint Solar, residents will be able to purchase a system outright or work with one of the financial companies Vivint Solar has partnered with to finance a system through monthly payments. Customers in New Hampshire will also be eligible to apply for any applicable state rebates or federal tax credits for their solar power. As part of each sale, Vivint Solar designs, installs and maintains the system, allowing customers to enjoy the benefits of affordable, renewable solar energy.

Vivint Solar now operates in 15 states (Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah) and Washington D.C. For more information, visit www.vivintsolar.com.
