NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL HECTOR BALDERAS IS SUING VIVINT SOLAR, CLAIMING THE COMPANY IS DEFRAUDING ITS CUSTOMERS AND USING UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES. SPOKESMAN JAMES HALLINAN SAYS VIVINT IS MIS-LEADING ITS CLIENTS INTO THINKING THEY WILL OWN THE SOLAR PANELS PLACED ON THEIR HOMES. HE SAYS CONSUMERS ARE NOT GETTING TO BUY THE SOLAR PANELS.
HALLINAN SAYS THE HOMEOWNERS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO PAY VIVINT FOR THE SOLAR POWER PRODUCED OVER A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS WITH THE RATES GOING UP OVER 72 PERCENT DURING THAT PERIOD.
