• No NABCEP Certification
• Momentum Solar Review Concerns

No NABCEP Certification

Momentum Solar does not appear to have a certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). The NABCEP is widely regarded as one of the most important certification programs in the solar industry. NABCEP-certified status indicates that a solar company has taken additional steps to train its personnel in the best practices and latest developments in solar installation. While the omission of this certification does not imply poor quality on the part of the company, its presence can sometimes be the difference-maker for a customer comparing multiple solar options.

Momentum Solar Review Concerns

While customer reviews are just one piece of the puzzle when analyzing a company, it's a significant piece. 

While many homeowners are satisfied with Momentum's service, there are some customer service issues highlighted by some reviewers. Specifically, some reviewers say communication was lacking after the installation process was complete. Others said they needed to proactively call the company to get details regarding parts of their solar project and they had a difficult time getting in touch with someone.
