Quick verdict for LA homeowners.
Legacy Vivint agreement: The controlling document is the signed lease, PPA or purchase agreement now administered through Sunrun. Review the current payment schedule, escalator or rate terms, transfer requirements, maintenance responsibility, buyout or prepayment language and system condition.
New HUS proposal: HUS can prepare a separate owner-purchase or multi-trade scope for solar, battery, roofing, HVAC or EV work. Compatibility, permission, utility requirements and interaction with the existing Sunrun agreement must be reviewed before any modification.
Comparison takeaway: Do not compare a generic PPA against a generic ownership example. Compare the actual remaining contract obligations against an itemized new proposal, including roof, electrical, financing, service and utility costs.
Side-by-side at-a-glance.
| Dimension | Legacy Vivint agreement administered by Sunrun | New HUS proposal |
|---|---|---|
| Controlling terms | The signed lease, PPA or purchase agreement and current Sunrun account documents | The new HUS contract, equipment schedule, financing documents and written exclusions |
| Ownership | Depends on the original Vivint agreement and any later amendments | Depends on the purchase and financing structure selected by the homeowner |
| Payment changes | Review the actual rate, escalator, billing, prepayment and buyout language | Review cash price, financed price, APR or rate, dealer fees, term and payment schedule |
| Home sale or transfer | Follow the transfer, prepayment or purchase process stated in the agreement | Review loan payoff, lien, warranty transfer and equipment ownership documents |
| Maintenance and service | Confirm Sunrun's current monitoring, maintenance and service responsibilities | Separate manufacturer, installer and workmanship responsibilities in the contract |
| Battery or system expansion | Contract permission, technical compatibility and utility approval may be required | The new scope must identify compatibility, backup loads, permits and interconnection |
| Roof and electrical work | Confirm access, removal, reinstall and modification rights before work begins | Include roofing, panel, conduit and restoration work only when stated in writing |
| Incentives and tax treatment | Do not assume any customer benefit without current eligibility and contract review | Do not assume any rebate, tax treatment or financing outcome without written approval |
How to compare a legacy agreement with a new proposal.
Use the actual Sunrun account documents and the complete new proposal. A generic 25-year example cannot substitute for the customer's payment history, remaining term, utility usage, roof condition or financing terms.
| Item to collect | Legacy Vivint or Sunrun agreement | New owner-purchase proposal |
|---|---|---|
| Current obligation | Remaining term, current rate or payment and future changes | Cash price, financed price, term, rate, fees and payment schedule |
| Exit or transfer | Current buyout, prepayment, transfer and home-sale process | Loan payoff, lien, transfer and warranty documents |
| Equipment and production | Installed equipment, monitoring records, service history and production | Exact equipment schedule, modeled production and exclusions |
| Roof and electrical scope | Access, removal, reinstall and modification obligations | Roofing, panel, conduit, permits and restoration included in writing |
| Battery and backup | Contract restrictions, compatibility and utility approval requirements | Battery model, protected loads, controller equipment and runtime assumptions |
| Incentives and tax | Benefits retained by the system owner or reflected in the agreement | Only amounts confirmed under current rules and professional review |
Ask Sunrun for current account figures and contract options. Review legal questions with an attorney and tax questions with a qualified tax professional. HUS can prepare a separate itemized project proposal but should not interpret or promise the legal effect of the legacy agreement.
What to do with an existing Vivint Solar agreement.
Start with the signed agreement and current Sunrun account information. Do not assume that every legacy contract has the same purchase, prepayment, transfer or modification terms.
- 1Request current figures from Sunrun: ask for the remaining term, payment or rate schedule, transfer process, purchase or prepayment options, and any requirements for roof or electrical work.
- 2Document the existing system: collect equipment labels, monitoring access, production history, permits, utility approval, service history and roof condition.
- 3Review proposed modifications before signing: additional solar, battery, roofing, HVAC or EV work may require contract consent, technical compatibility, utility review and permits.
- 4Compare an itemized new proposal: separate the new equipment and construction scope from the existing contract obligations so the homeowner can evaluate both clearly.
- 5Use qualified advisors: review contract interpretation with an attorney and tax or financing questions with the appropriate professional.
Prepare for a legacy Vivint and Sunrun contract review.
- ✓Original Vivint Solar agreement, amendments, assignment notices and current Sunrun account documents.
