Albuquerque, N.M. • Vivint Solar Inc. was accused Thursday by the New Mexico attorney general of defrauding residents and jeopardizing their homeownership through deceptive sales practices.
The residential rooftop solar provider, an offshoot of Vivint Inc. (the naming-rights sponsor for the arena where the Utah Jazz play), is based in Lehi but also operates in New Mexico and 19 other states.
Attorney General Hector Balderas filed a lawsuit in state district court against Vivint Solar over claims that the company engaged in a pattern of unfair and unconscionable business practices, fraud and racketeering.
