Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | 1 . Organization Vivint Solar, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The Company most commonly offers solar energy to residential customers through long-term customer contracts, such as power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) and legal-form leases (“Solar Leases”). The Company also offers its customers the option to purchase solar energy systems (“System Sales”) through third-party loan offerings or a cash purchase. The Company enters into customer contracts through a sales organization that historically has primarily used a direct-to-home sales model. The long-term customer contracts under PPAs and Solar Leases have typically been for 20 years, but beginning in the first quarter of 2020, 25-year contracts are also being offered. These contracts require the customer to make monthly payments to the Company. The Company has formed various investment funds and entered into long-term debt facilities to monetize the recurring customer payments under its long-term customer contracts and investment tax credits (“ITCs”), accelerated tax depreciation and other incentives associated with residential solar energy systems. The Company uses the cash received from the investment funds, long-term debt facilities and cash generated from operations, including System Sales, to finance a portion of the Company’s variable and fixed costs associated with installing solar energy systems. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other interim period or other future year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company uses a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for VIEs. This approach focuses on determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All of these determinations involve significant management judgments and estimates. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in the operational VIEs in which it has an equity interest. The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For additional information, see Note 14—Investment Funds. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly makes significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, ITCs; revenue recognition; solar energy systems, net; the impairment analysis of long-lived assets; stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; the valuation of derivative financial instruments; the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies; and non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Liquidity The Company requires cash to finance the deployment of solar energy systems. As of the date of this filing, the Company will require additional sources of cash beyond current cash balances and currently available financing facilities to fund long-term planned growth. If the Company is unable to secure additional financing when needed, or upon desirable terms, the Company may be unable to finance installation of customers’ solar energy systems in a manner consistent with past performance, cost of capital could increase, or the Company may be required to significantly reduce the scope of operations, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in changes to the capital markets, which have negatively affected the Company’s liquidity position. The timing and type of funding the Company expected to obtain as part of its planned business processes has been disrupted. As a result, the Company has initiated other funding alternatives to allow the Company to continue business activities for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. These funding alternatives may prove to be more expensive, less favorable options than previously expected. The Company expects to obtain additional capital needed to resume growth and normal operations and provide the capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond one year. However, there continues to be significant uncertainty about the duration and long-term effects of COVID-19 and it is possible the effects of COVID-19 may further impact the Company’s liquidity and its ability to operate as it has historically. The Company may also continue to be limited in its ability to contact customers and install new solar energy systems. There is also a risk that the Company’s alternative fund-raising activities are unsuccessful. Management has taken actions to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19, and to alleviate some risk to the Company’s liquidity. These actions include, but are not limited to, cost reduction initiatives such as decreasing a significant portion of its workforce through furloughs and layoffs, salary reductions, temporarily closing warehouses and sales offices, eliminating expenditures, and deferring cash tax payments through the CARES Act. However, these efforts may not prove to be sufficient given the present uncertainties about the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Performance Obligation—Solar Energy System and Product Sales For certain System Sales, the Company provides limited post-sale services to monitor the productivity of the solar energy system for 20 years after it has been placed into service. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the monitoring services by estimating the standalone selling price that the Company would charge for these services if offered separately from the sale of the solar energy system. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had allocated deferred revenue of $5.3 million and $4.7 million to monitoring services that will be recognized over the term of the monitoring services. Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . the Company’s accounts receivable and certain contract assets are considered financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected using this updated methodology. Utilizing the Company’s historical default rate and reviewing current economic conditions, the Company estimated the allowance for credit losses that would be required. The Company applied Topic 326 through a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $0.3 million to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses at each reporting period and adjusts as necessary in accordance with principles of Topic 326. When evaluating its allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2020, the Company considered the impact COVID-19 will have its financial assets based on information available to the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded additional reserves of $0.7 million related to Topic 326. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. |

The Series 2018-1 Notes are composed of Class A and Class B Notes. Class A Notes accrue interest at 4.73%. Class B Notes accrue interest at 7.37%. (2) The Series 2018-2 Notes are composed of Class A and Class B Notes. Class B Notes accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.75%. Class A Notes accrue interest at a variable spread over LIBOR that results in a weighted average spread for all 2018-2 Notes of 2.95%. (3) The interest rate of these notes is partially hedged to an effective interest rate of 6.0% for $322.1 million of the principal borrowings. See Note 13—Derivative Financial Instruments. (4) The maturity date for this facility is 20 years from the end date of the borrowing availability period when all borrowings are aggregated into one term loan, which will be no later than November 20, 2020. (5) Revolving lines of credit are not presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs. (6) This facility is recourse debt, which refers to debt that is collateralized by the Company’s general assets. All of the Company’s other debt obligations are non-recourse, which refers to debt that is only collateralized by specified assets or subsidiaries of the Company. The Company’s debt facilities include customary events of default, conditions to borrowing and covenants, including covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, make investments, make fundamental changes to its business, dispose of assets, make certain types of restricted payments or enter into certain related party transactions. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain certain financial measurements and interest rate swaps for certain debt facilities. These restrictions do not impact the Company’s ability to enter into investment funds, including those that are similar to those entered into previously. The Company’s debt facilities are secured by net cash flows from long-term customer contracts. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2020. Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-1 In June 2018, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-1, Class A (the “2018-1 Class A Notes”) and an aggregate principal amount of $66.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-1, Class B (the “2018-1 Class B Notes” and together with the 2018-1 Class A Notes, the “2018-1 Notes”). The 2018-1 Class A Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 4.73% and have an anticipated repayment date of October 30, 2028. The 2018-1 Class B Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 7.37% and have an anticipated repayment date of October 30, 2028. In addition to customary events of default and covenants, the 2018-1 Notes are subject to unscheduled prepayment events that generally are customary in nature for solar securitizations of this type, including (1) asset coverage ratios falling below certain levels, (2) a debt service coverage ratio falling below certain levels, (3) the failure to maintain insurance, and (4) the failure to repay the notes in full prior to the anticipated repayment date for such class of notes. The occurrence of an unscheduled prepayment event or an event of default could result in the more rapid repayment of the 2018-1 Notes, and the occurrence of an event of default could, in certain instances, result in the liquidation of the collateral securing the 2018-1 Notes. The 2018-1 Notes are secured by, and payable solely from the cash flow generated by the membership interests in certain indirectly owned subsidiaries of the Company, each of which subsidiaries is the managing member of a project company that owns a pool of photovoltaic systems and related Solar Leases and PPAs and ancillary rights and agreements that were originated by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $16.4 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which are included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-2 In June 2018, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $296.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-2, Class A (the “2018-2 Class A Notes”) and an aggregate principal amount of $49.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-2, Class B (the “2018-2 Class B Notes” and together with the 2018-2 Class A Notes, the “2018-2 Notes”). The 2018-2 Class A Notes accrue interest at a variable spread over LIBOR that is intended to result in a weighted average spread for all 2018-2 Notes of 2.95%. The 2018-2 Class B Notes accrue interest at a spread over LIBOR of 4.75% or, if no 2018-2 Class A Notes are outstanding, 2.95%. The Company entered into an interest rate swap concurrent with the issuance of the 2018-2 Notes that results in an implied all-in interest rate of approximately 5.95%. See Note 13—Derivative Financial Instruments. The 2018-2 Notes have a stated maturity of August 29, 2023. The 2018-2 Notes have the same events of default, covenants and unscheduled prepayment events as the 2018-1 Notes. In addition, the 2018-2 Notes are subject to unscheduled prepayment events relating to certain change of control events and certain liquidity requirements. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $28.1 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which are included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. 2017 Term Loan Facility In January 2017, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a long-term fixed rate credit agreement (the “2017 Term Loan Facility”). Interest on borrowings accrues at an annual fixed rate equal to 6.0% and is payable in arrears. Certain principal payments are due on a quarterly basis, subject to the occurrence of certain events. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $20.6 million in required reserves 2018 Forward Flow Loan Facility In August 2018, a subsidiary that is indirectly owned by the Company together with investors, entered into a loan agreement (the “2018 Forward Flow Loan Facility”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $124.8 million. The Company was permitted to make multiple borrowings under the 2018 Forward Flow Loan Facility during the availability period. In November 2019, all outstanding loans under the 2018 Forward Flow Facility were aggregated into a single term loan with a maturity date of November 20, 2039. Interest on the aggregated term loan accrues at an annual fixed rate of 4.7%. The interest rate of the aggregated term loan is a blended rate based on weighted draws during the availability period. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company will be required to make prepayments of the loans, including payment of a make-whole amount in certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $6.5 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which were included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. 2019 Forward Flow Loan Facility In May 2019, a subsidiary that is indirectly owned by the Company together with investors, entered into a loan agreement (the “2019 Forward Flow Loan Facility”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. The Company may make multiple borrowings under the 2019 Forward Flow Loan Facility during the availability period, which will continue no later than November 20, 2020. After the availability period, all outstanding loans under the 2019 Forward Flow Loan Facility will be aggregated into a single term loan with a maturity date 20 years after the date of aggregation. On any anniversary of the date of aggregation occurring from and after the sixth such anniversary, upon notice to the lenders, the Company may borrow additional loans under the 2019 Forward Flow Loan Facility if the Company is projected to have sufficient net cash flow to service such additional debt. If any lender declines to fund such additional loans, the Company will have the right to prepay outstanding loans from such lender in an amount equal to 102.5% of such loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest, without any make-whole amount. Interest on each loan will accrue at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 4.70% and (b) the U.S. Treasury rate for the weighted-average life of such loan, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.35%. Scheduled principal payments are due on a quarterly basis, at the end of January, April, July and October of each year. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company will be required to make prepayments of the loans, including payment of a make-whole amount in certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $3.2 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which were included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Credit Agreement In February 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a fixed rate credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). Principal and interest payments under the Credit Agreement are paid quarterly over the term of the loan. Interest accrues on borrowings at a fixed rate of 6.50%. Warehouse Facility In August 2019, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a floating rate revolving warehouse facility (the “Warehouse Facility”) pursuant to which it may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million, expandable up to $400.0 million, from certain financial institutions for which Bank of America, N.A. is acting as administrative agent and collateral agent. During the period in which the Company may make borrowings under the Warehouse Facility, which is currently anticipated to continue until August 2022, interest on borrowings accrues at an annual rate equal to the applicable adjusted LIBOR rate plus 2.375%. Thereafter, interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to the applicable adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.375%. In addition, the Company is required to maintain interest rate hedging arrangements such that not less than 90% of the aggregate expected amortization profile of all outstanding revolving advances is subject to a fixed interest rate or other interest rate protection. Initially, subject to the terms of the Warehouse Facility, only interest payments are due on a quarterly basis, through the availability period, and then certain principal and interest payments may be due. These payments will occur on the 15 th of January, April, July and October of each year, subject to the occurrence of certain events, including a borrowing base deficiency and dispositions with respect to any of the collateral. Principal and interest payable under the Warehouse Facility mature in four years and optional prepayments, in whole or in part, are permitted under the Warehouse Facility no more than once per month, without premium or penalty apart from any customary LIBOR breakage provisions. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $6.9 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which were included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Asset Financing Facility In December 2019, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Asset Financing Facility”) with certain financial institutions for which Bank of America, N.A. is acting as administrative agent and collateral agent, under which the Company may incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million in revolver borrowings. The Asset Financing Facility matures in June 2023 |

Lessee Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Leases | 12 . Leases The Company is the lessee in all of its lease arrangements. The Company did not enter into any leases with related parties during the presented periods. The Company makes significant assumptions and judgments when assessing contracts for lease components, determining lease classifications and calculating right-of-use asset and lease liability values. These assumptions and judgements may include the useful lives and fair values of the leased assets, the implicit rate underlying the Company’s leases, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate or the Company’s intent to exercise or not exercise options available in lease contracts. Lease costs and other information consisted of the following (in thousands, except terms and rates): Three Months Ended Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Lease cost Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 714 $ 294 Interest on lease liabilities 153 26 Operating lease cost 3,393 2,770 Short-term lease cost 364 722 Total lease cost $ 4,624 $ 3,812 Other information Finance leases: Operating cash outflows from finance leases $ 153 $ 26 Financing cash outflows from finance leases $ 1,196 $ 271 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities $ 1,664 $ 1,053 Weighted-average remaining lease term - finance leases (in years) 3.4 2.9 Weighted-average discount rate - finance leases 7.0 % 7.8 % Operating leases: Operating cash outflows from operating leases $ 3,341 $ 2,826 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 12,230 $ 6,910 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases (in years) 8.9 9.6 Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 7.4 % 8.0 % Finance Leases The Company’s finance leases relate to fleet vehicles. All of the Company’s fleet vehicles are leased pursuant to master lease agreements for a period of three to four years. The master lease agreements allow for the Company to extend fleet vehicle leases on a month-to-month basis. For administrative convenience, the Company will often commit to extension periods of up to one year. As the extensions are not always utilized and are not contractually bound to a specific period of time, these extensions are not included in the initial right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Instead, these extensions are treated as new leases. The master lease agreements stipulate minimum residual value guarantees that are not typically recognized as part of the Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities as these residual value guarantees are not probable of being owed. The rates implicit in the Company’s fleet vehicle finance leases are determinable, and the Company uses those rates to calculate the present value of its lease liabilities related to fleet vehicles. Future minimum lease payments for the Company’s finance leases as of March 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands): 2020 $ 2,532 2021 2,949 2022 2,823 2023 1,846 2024 84 Thereafter — Total minimum lease payments 10,234 Less: interest 1,068 Present value of finance lease obligations 9,166 Less: current portion 2,497 Long-term portion $ 6,669 Operating Leases The Company has entered into lease agreements for offices, warehouses and related equipment located in states in which the Company conducts operations. The Company’s operating lease agreements typically include options to extend the lease term and typically do not include purchase options. The Company includes lease extension options in the right-of-use asset and lease liability when the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the options. The rates implicit in the Company’s operating leases are not readily determinable. As such, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of its operating lease liabilities. For all non-cancellable lease arrangements, there are no bargain renewal options, penalties for failure to renew, or any guarantee by the Company of the lessor’s debt or a loan from the Company to the lessor related to the leased property. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of March 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands): 2020 $ 9,858 2021 10,963 2022 8,532 2023 7,031 2024 6,822 Thereafter 39,374 Total minimum lease payments 82,580 Less: present value impact 23,163 Present value of operating lease obligations 59,417 Less: current portion 8,886 Long-term portion $ 50,531 |

Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments at fair value consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2020 Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps $ 54,413 Other non-current liabilities Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps $ 25,113 Other non-current liabilities December 31, 2019 Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps $ 28,070 Other non-current liabilities Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps $ 3,245 Other non-current assets The Company is exposed to interest rate risk relating to its outstanding debt facilities that have variable interest rates. In connection with the Warehouse Facility, the Company is required to maintain interest rate swaps such that not less than 90% of the aggregate expected amortization profile of all outstanding revolving advances is subject to a fixed interest rate. The Company is required to meet this threshold within five business days after the end of each quarterly period. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $225.0 million. The Company entered into additional interest rate swaps within five business days of quarter end with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $27.0 million. The Company did not designate these interest rate swaps as hedge instruments and accounts for any changes in fair value in other expense, net. In connection with the 2018-2 Notes, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to offset changes in the variable interest rate for a portion of these notes. As of March 31, 2020, the notional amount of these interest rate swaps was $322.1 million. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps decreases through the maturity of the 2018-2 Notes, similar to the Company’s estimated semi-annual principal payments on the 2018-2 Notes through August 2023. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The amount of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) expected to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months is approximately $7.7 million. The Company will discontinue the hedge accounting designation of these derivatives if interest payments on LIBOR-indexed floating rate loans compared to the payments under the derivatives are no longer highly effective. The Company records derivatives at fair value. The losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges recognized in OCI, before tax effect, consisted of the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges: Interest rate swaps $ 27,237 $ 6,600 The losses on derivative financial instruments recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, before tax effect, consisted of the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Interest expense, net Other expense, net Interest expense, net Other expense, net Total amounts presented in the income statement line items $ 21,632 $ 28,358 $ 19,127 $ 1,385 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges: Interest rate swaps Losses reclassified from AOCI into income $ 894 $ — $ 322 $ — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps Losses recognized in income — 28,358 — 1,384 Total losses $ 894 $ 28,358 $ 322 $ 1,384 |

Summarized Financial Data Of Subsidiary [Abstract] | |
Investment Funds | 14 . Investment Funds The Company has formed investment funds for the purpose of funding the purchase of solar energy systems under long-term customer contracts. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate carrying value of these funds’ assets and liabilities (after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2020 2019 Assets Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 59,494 $ 82,764 Accounts receivable, net 15,971 8,922 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,444 1,676 Total current assets 76,909 93,362 Restricted cash and cash equivalents 9,666 8,890 Solar energy systems, net 1,645,537 1,587,354 Other non-current assets, net 555,625 504,668 Total assets $ 2,287,737 $ 2,194,274 Liabilities Current liabilities: Accounts Payable $ 13 $ — Distributions payable to non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests 7,474 10,253 Current portion of long-term debt 3,927 3,622 Current portion of deferred revenue 2,166 2,590 Accrued and other current liabilities 6,372 6,394 Total current liabilities 19,952 22,859 Long-term debt, net of current portion 229,509 197,952 Deferred revenue, net of current portion 14,544 12,242 Other non-current liabilities 576 301 Total liabilities $ 264,581 $ 233,354 Under the fund agreements, cash distributions of income and other receipts by the funds, net of agreed-upon expenses and estimated expenses, tax benefits and detriments of income and loss, and tax benefits of tax credits, are assigned to the fund investors and the Company’s subsidiaries as specified in contractual arrangements. As such, the cash held in investment funds is not readily available to the Company due to the timing of distributions. Certain of these fund arrangements have call and put options to acquire the investor’s equity interest as specified in the contractual agreements. Once the investor’s equity interest is acquired by the Company, the assets, liabilities and operations of the investment fund become wholly owned and no longer require an assessment of non-controlling interests. Fund investors for three of the funds are managed indirectly by The Blackstone Group L.P. (the “Sponsor”) and are considered related parties. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the cumulative total of contributions into the VIEs by all investors was $2,035.5 million and $1,949.7 million. Of these contributions, a cumulative total of $110.0 million was contributed by related parties in prior periods. A third-party provider has agreed to perform backup maintenance services for all funds, if necessary. Lease Pass-Through Financing Obligation During 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease pass-through fund arrangement under which the Company contributed solar energy systems and the investor contributed cash. The net carrying value of the related solar energy systems was $43.4 million and $43.8 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company accounts for the residual of the large upfront payments, net of amounts allocated to the ITCs, and subsequent periodic payments received from the fund investor as a borrowing by recording the proceeds received as a lease pass-through financing obligation, which will be repaid through customer payments that will be received by the investor. Under this approach, the Company continues to account for the arrangement with the customers in its condensed consolidated financial statements, whether the cash generated from the customer arrangements is received by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary or paid directly to the fund investor. A portion of the amounts received by the fund investor from customer payments is applied to reduce the lease pass-through financing obligation, and the balance is allocated to interest expense. The customer payments are recognized into revenue based on cash receipts during the period as required by GAAP. Interest is calculated on the lease pass-through financing obligation using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of the cash amounts to be received by a fund investor over the master lease term with the present value of the cash amounts paid by the investor to the Company, adjusted for any payments made by the Company. Any additional master lease prepayments by the investor would be recorded as an additional lease pass-through financing obligation, while any refunds of master lease prepayments would reduce the lease pass-through financing obligation. The lease pass-through financing obligation is nonrecourse. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded financing liabilities of $4.6 million in each period related to this fund arrangement, which was the lease pass-through financing obligation recorded in other liabilities. Guarantees With respect to the investment funds, the Company and the fund investors have entered into guaranty agreements under which the Company guarantees the performance of certain financial obligations of its subsidiaries to the investment funds. These guarantees do not result in the Company being required to make payments to the fund investors unless such payments are mandated by the investment fund governing documents and the investment fund fails to make such payment. Each of the Company’s investment funds and financing subsidiaries maintains separate books and records from each other and from the Company. The assets of each investment fund are not available to satisfy the debts or obligations of any other investment fund, subsidiary or the Company. The Company is contractually obligated to make certain VIE investors whole for losses that the investors may suffer in certain limited circumstances resulting from the disallowance or recapture of ITCs. The Company has concluded that the likelihood of a significant recapture event is remote and consequently has not recorded any liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any potential recapture exposure. The maximum potential future payments that the Company could have to make under this obligation would depend on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) successfully asserting upon audit that the fair market values of the solar energy systems sold or transferred to the funds as determined by the Company exceeded the allowable basis for the systems for purposes of claiming ITCs. The fair market values of the solar energy systems and related ITCs are determined and the ITCs are allocated to the fund investors in accordance with the funds’ governing agreements. Due to uncertainties associated with estimating the timing and amounts of distributions, the likelihood of an event that may trigger repayment, forfeiture or recapture of ITCs to such investors, and the fact that the Company cannot determine how the IRS will evaluate system values used in claiming ITCs, the Company cannot determine the potential maximum future payments that are required under these guarantees. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not made any payments under these guarantees. However, several recent investment funds, the 2018-1 Notes and the 2018-2 Notes have required the Company to prepay insurance premiums to cover the risk of ITC recapture. The Company amortizes this prepaid insurance expense over the ITC recapture period. The Company had prepaid insurance balances of $7.7 million and $8.1 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. From time to time, the Company incurs fees for non-performance, which non-performance may include, but is not limited to, delays in the installation process and interconnection to the power grid of solar energy systems and other factors. Based on the terms of the investment fund agreements, the Company will either reimburse a portion of the fund investor’s capital or pay the fund investor a non-performance fee. Distributions paid to reimburse fund investors totaled $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, As a result of the guaranty arrangements in certain funds, the Company was required to hold a minimum cash balance of $10.0 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which is classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. |

The purchase price for the fund investor’s interest in the eight investment funds under the Put Options is the greater of fair market value at the time the option is exercised and a specified amount, ranging from $2.1 million to $4.1 million. The Put Options for these eight investment funds are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund. The first of the Put Options are expected to become exercisable beginning in the second quarter of 2021. Because the Put Options represent redemption features that are not solely within the control of the Company, the non-controlling interests in these investment funds are presented outside of permanent equity. Redeemable non-controlling interests are recorded using the greater of their carrying value at each reporting date (which is impacted by attribution under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method) or their estimated redemption value in each reporting period. In all investment funds except one, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary has the right to require the non-controlling interest holder to sell all of its membership units to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (each, a “Call Option”). The purchase price for the fund investors’ interests under the Call Options varies by fund, but is generally the greater of a specified amount, which ranges from approximately $1.2 million to $7.0 million, the fair market value of such interest at the time the option is exercised, or an amount that causes the fund investor to achieve a specified return on investment. The Call Options are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund. The first of the Call Options are expected to become exercisable beginning in the third quarter of 2020. |

Income Taxes | 17 . Income Taxes The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was calculated on a discrete basis resulting in a consolidated quarterly effective income tax rate of (23.0)% and (44.5)%. The variations between the consolidated effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were primarily attributable to the tax gains recognized on the sale of solar energy systems to investment funds and non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests. Additionally, the consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflects the benefit from the net operating loss carryback provisions pursuant to the CARES Act. The Company sells solar energy systems to its investment funds for income tax purposes. As the investment funds are consolidated by the Company, the gain on the sale of the solar energy systems is eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, this gain is recognized for tax reporting purposes. The Company accounts for the income tax consequences of these intra-entity transfers, both current and deferred, as a component of income tax expense during the period in which the transfers occur. The Company recognizes income tax effects directly to continuing operations and AOCI pursuant to applicable intraperiod allocation rules. The Company’s policy is to release income tax effects from AOCI using an item-by-item approach when the circumstances upon which they are premised cease to exist. |

Related Party Transactions | 18 . Related Party Transactions The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations included related party transactions of $0.3 million and $0.8 million within sales and marketing for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Vivint Services The Company has a number of agreements with its sister company, Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (“Vivint”). The Company has a sales dealer agreement with Vivint, pursuant to which each company will act as a non-exclusive dealer for the other party to market, promote and sell each other’s products. The agreement will continue to automatically renew unless written notice of termination is provided by one of the parties to the other. The Company and Vivint have also agreed to non-solicitation provisions under a recruiting services agreement that matches the term of the sales dealer agreement. The Company made payments under agreements with Vivint of $1.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. These amounts reflect the level of services provided by Vivint on behalf of the Company. Under agreements with Vivint, the Company recorded payable balances to Vivint of $0.8 million and $2.2 million in accounts payable as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Advances Receivable — Net amounts due from direct-sales professionals were $5.7 million and $6.6 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company provided a reserve of $0.5 million and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 related to advances to direct-sales professionals who have terminated their employment agreement with the Company. Investment Funds Fund investors for three of the investment funds are indirectly managed by the Sponsor and accordingly are considered related parties. The Company accrued equity distributions to these entities of $1.2 million and $1.4 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, included in distributions payable to non-controlling and redeemable non-controlling interests.

Commitments and Contingencies | 19. Letters of Credit As of March 31, 2020, the Company had established letters of credit under the Asset Financing Facility for up to $19.6 million related to insurance and retail contracts. Indemnification Obligations From time to time, the Company enters into contracts that contingently require it to indemnify parties against claims. These contracts primarily relate to provisions in the Company’s services agreements with related parties that may require the Company to indemnify the related parties against services rendered; and certain agreements with the Company’s officers and directors under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities. In addition, under the terms of the agreements related to the Company’s investment funds and other material contracts, the Company may also be required to indemnify fund investors and other third parties for liabilities. For further information see Note 14—Investment Funds. Residual Commission Payments The Company pays a portion of sales commissions to its sales professionals on a deferred basis. The amount deferred is based on the value of the system sold by the sales professional and payment is based on the sales professional remaining employed by the Company. As this amount is earned over time, it is not considered an incremental cost of obtaining the contract due to the requirement that the sales professional remain in the Company’s service. As a result, the amount that is earned over time is expensed by the Company over the deferment period. In the second quarter of 2019, this plan was changed such that no new accounts were added to this deferred payment plan. As of March 31, 2020, the total estimated obligation that is currently not recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, but that will be earned and expensed over the deferment period was $2.5 million. Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Matters In February 2018, two former employees, on behalf of themselves and other direct sellers, named the Company in a putative class and Private Attorneys General Act action in San Diego County Superior Court, California, alleging that the Company misclassified those employees and violated other wage and hour laws. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and statutory penalties for the alleged violations. The Company disputes the allegations and has retained counsel to defend it in the litigation. On October 7, 2019, the Company entered into a class action settlement agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay $7.25 million to settle the claims in the lawsuit, which was accrued by the Company in general and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2019. The settlement is subject to court approval. On December 6, 2019, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The final settlement approval hearing is currently scheduled for May 22, 2020. In March 2018, the New Mexico Attorney General’s office filed an action against the Company and several of its officers in New Mexico State Court, alleging violation of state consumer protection statutes and other claims. The Company disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and intends to defend itself in the action. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, were there to be an adverse final decision. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in this case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In July 2018, an individual filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, purportedly on behalf of himself and other persons who received certain telephone calls. The lawsuit alleges that the Company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and some of its implementing regulations. The complaint seeks statutory penalties for each alleged violation. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint, has retained counsel and intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation. In August 2019, the Company reached a settlement in principle to resolve the class action on a nationwide basis for a payment of approximately $1.0 million (including plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees), which was accrued by the Company in general and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2019. On November 8, 2019, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The final settlement approval hearing is scheduled for May 12, 2020. In October 2018, a former employee filed a representative action in Sacramento County Superior Court, California, pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys General Act alleging that the Company violated California labor and employment laws by, among other things, failing to provide its employees with rest and meal breaks. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and has retained counsel to represent it in the litigation. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in the case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In October 2018, a former sales professional filed a representative action in Orange County Superior Court, California, pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys General Act alleging that the Company violated California labor and employment laws by, among other things, failing to properly compensate its direct sellers and reimburse them for business expenses. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint. In November 2019, the parties entered into an agreement pursuant to which the plaintiff agreed that the resolution of the February 2018 class action referenced above would resolve all of the claims in this action. In June 2019, a former sales professional filed a representative action in San Diego County Superior Court, California, pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys General Act alleging that the Company violated California labor and employment laws by, among other things, failing to properly compensate its direct sellers and reimburse them for business expenses. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint. The resolution of the February 2018 class action referenced above is expected to resolve the representative claims pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys General Act. In October 2019, two separate, purported stockholders filed separate putative class actions in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York purportedly on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated. The lawsuits allege violations of federal securities laws and seek unspecified compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. In March 2020, the court consolidated the two actions and appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel to represent the putative class. The Company expects that the court-appointed lead plaintiffs will file an amended and consolidated complaint in the action. The Company will respond to the amended and consolidated complaint, and it reserves all of its rights and objections with regard to jurisdictional challenges and venue as well as any other objections and motions related to the amended and consolidated complaint. The Company disputes the plaintiffs’ allegations and has retained counsel to represent it in the litigation. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in this case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In December 2019, ten customers who signed residential power purchase agreements named the Company in a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the agreements contain unlawful termination fee provisions. In March 2020, the court issued an order compelling eight of the plaintiffs to arbitrate their claims. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and has retained counsel to represent it in the litigation. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in this case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In December 2019, two former installers filed a putative class action wage and hour lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. In February 2020, the two installers filed a First Amended Complaint, which added a Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claim. In March 2020, the plaintiffs dismissed their class and PAGA claims with prejudice and opted to proceed with binding arbitration on their individual claims only. In December 2019, a former installer filed a representative action in San Diego Superior Court, California, asserting various wage and hour claims. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and has retained counsel to represent it in the litigation. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in this case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In January 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement called an Assurance of Discontinuance (“Settlement”) with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”). The Settlement requires that the Company adopt certain changes to its sales and marketing practices in New York and pay approximately $2.0 million to the State of New York in three payments. The Company accrued this amount in its financial statements as of December 31, 2019, and already paid $1.0 million in January 2020. The Settlement required that the Company notify New York customers about the Settlement and their potential rights under it, including the potential rights to have the Company remove their system, leave their property in a watertight condition, cancel contracts, and refund amounts paid, and/or to repair property damage. The NYAG will be the final arbiter of any disputes as to the consumer’s eligibility for relief. The Company has accrued another $2.0 million for this potential liability in general and administrative expenses for the period ending December 31, 2019, which represents the Company’s current best estimate of potential loss. Future adjustments to the Company’s current accrual, which currently cannot be estimated, could adversely impact the Company’s operating results in the period(s) in which any such adjustments are made. Actual expenses may deviate materially from the Company’s estimate. In March 2020, a shareholder filed a derivative action against various officers and directors of the Company in the Delaware Chancery Court, alleging that they breached their duties of loyalty, care, and good faith. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The defendants dispute the allegations in the complaint and have retained counsel to represent them in the litigation. The Company was served with the complaint in April 2020. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in this case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In addition to the matters discussed above, in the normal course of business, the Company has from time to time been named as a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints. While the outcome of these matters cannot currently be predicted with certainty, the Company does not currently believe that the outcome of any of these claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company accrues for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its legal reserves based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of the law and assumptions about the future outcome of each case based on available information. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other interim period or other future year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company uses a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for VIEs. This approach focuses on determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All of these determinations involve significant management judgments and estimates. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in the operational VIEs in which it has an equity interest. The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For additional information, see Note 14—Investment Funds. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly makes significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, ITCs; revenue recognition; solar energy systems, net; the impairment analysis of long-lived assets; stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; the valuation of derivative financial instruments; the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies; and non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
Liquidity | Liquidity The Company requires cash to finance the deployment of solar energy systems. As of the date of this filing, the Company will require additional sources of cash beyond current cash balances and currently available financing facilities to fund long-term planned growth. If the Company is unable to secure additional financing when needed, or upon desirable terms, the Company may be unable to finance installation of customers’ solar energy systems in a manner consistent with past performance, cost of capital could increase, or the Company may be required to significantly reduce the scope of operations, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in changes to the capital markets, which have negatively affected the Company’s liquidity position. The timing and type of funding the Company expected to obtain as part of its planned business processes has been disrupted. As a result, the Company has initiated other funding alternatives to allow the Company to continue business activities for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. These funding alternatives may prove to be more expensive, less favorable options than previously expected. The Company expects to obtain additional capital needed to resume growth and normal operations and provide the capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond one year. However, there continues to be significant uncertainty about the duration and long-term effects of COVID-19 and it is possible the effects of COVID-19 may further impact the Company’s liquidity and its ability to operate as it has historically. The Company may also continue to be limited in its ability to contact customers and install new solar energy systems. There is also a risk that the Company’s alternative fund-raising activities are unsuccessful. Management has taken actions to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19, and to alleviate some risk to the Company’s liquidity. These actions include, but are not limited to, cost reduction initiatives such as decreasing a significant portion of its workforce through furloughs and layoffs, salary reductions, temporarily closing warehouses and sales offices, eliminating expenditures, and deferring cash tax payments through the CARES Act. However, these efforts may not prove to be sufficient given the present uncertainties about the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
Performance Obligation-Solar Energy System and Product Sales | Performance Obligation—Solar Energy System and Product Sales For certain System Sales, the Company provides limited post-sale services to monitor the productivity of the solar energy system for 20 years after it has been placed into service. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the monitoring services by estimating the standalone selling price that the Company would charge for these services if offered separately from the sale of the solar energy system. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had allocated deferred revenue of $5.3 million and $4.7 million to monitoring services that will be recognized over the term of the monitoring services. |
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . the Company’s accounts receivable and certain contract assets are considered financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected using this updated methodology. Utilizing the Company’s historical default rate and reviewing current economic conditions, the Company estimated the allowance for credit losses that would be required. The Company applied Topic 326 through a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $0.3 million to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses at each reporting period and adjusts as necessary in accordance with principles of Topic 326. When evaluating its allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2020, the Company considered the impact COVID-19 will have its financial assets based on information available to the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded additional reserves of $0.7 million related to Topic 326. |
