The $540 million announced today is in addition to the $200 million of tax equity financing that Vivint Solar announced in August of this year.

"In less than three months, Vivint Solar has raised nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars to finance our solar projects," said Greg Butterfield. "These new financings will enable Vivint Solar to continue its unparalleled growth, while delivering simple, affordable solar solutions to our customers."

Vivint Solar is the second largest U.S. residential solar installer, according to the U.S. PV Leaderboard published by GTM Research. Vivint Solar designs, installs, monitors, and services every solar photovoltaic system with no upfront out-of-pocket costs to the homeowner. Through a power purchase agreement (PPA), a homeowner buys the power generated by the solar photovoltaic system at a rate currently lower than they could get from a local utility provider.

Vivint Solar currently operates in California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Washington D.C. For more information, visit www.vivintsolar.com.
