Smart Home Solar Systems

Vivint Solar is Partnering with Vivint Smart Home for an Integrated Tool

Vivint Smart Home already has a smooth user interface in place for consumers to manage their various smart home devices, including things like thermostats and home security systems. By adding solar energy management into that suite, the companies hope to increase the likelihood of consumers opting for green energy in their homes.

3. Green Energy Adoption in Homes - By adding solar energy management to smart home systems, Vivint Smart Home and Vivint Solar hope to increase the likelihood of consumers opting for green energy in their homes, creating a disruptive opportunity for the renewable energy industry.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Technology - The integration of solar energy into smart home systems presents an opportunity for companies involved in the development and production of smart home technology.
2. Solar Energy - As solar energy continues to gain popularity, there is potential for innovation in the solar energy industry to simplify the process of operating solar panels and increase adoption rates.
3. Renewable Energy - The partnership between Vivint Smart Home and Vivint Solar creates a disruptive opportunity for the renewable energy industry by offering an integrated tool that encourages consumers to opt for green energy in their homes.
