Customized Solar PV Systems 

Momentum Solar understands that each customer has a unique home, lifestyle, and budget and strives to provide a personalized solution and experience for each individual customer. 

The solar energy company provides a custom photovoltaic system, and designs, engineers, and installs each system to maximize energy output, electric bill savings, and aesthetic appeal while also lowering carbon footprint.

When a customer chooses to have a solar energy system installed by Momentum Solar, they can expect the process to be as follows:

1. Pre-qualification
2. Free, no-obligation consultation
3. Solar enrollment for qualified homeowners
4. Site assessment, design, permitting, and solar installation
5. Final inspection and activation

High-Quality Equipment Partnerships

Superior Workmanship Warranty 

Momentum Solar provides its customers with a 25-year equipment warranty to cover parts, as well as a 25-year workmanship warranty to cover the work of each solar installer it employs. By contrast, many solar installers offer only a 5-12 year workmanship warranty.

Customers can be confident that their solar array will be protected under these warranties.

Financing and Payment Options

On Momentum Solar's website, the company states that it offers $0 down options in every state where it operates, and $0 down, $0 out-of-pocket options in the majority of states where it operates.

Available methods of payment include cash purchase, solar loan, solar lease, and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Purchase and loan options allow customers to take full advantage of the federal solar tax credit. Momentum Solar will sync up with each homeowner to discuss the best financial options for their specific situation.

Regardless of the financing method, Momentum Solar offers long-term price predictability so that customers will know they're paying for electricity today, tomorrow, and for the next 20+ years that they have a solar PV system.

Additionally, Momentum Solar gives customers the option to quickly and conveniently make payments online with a click of a button. To do this, customers simply need to visit the company's website, fill out a short form, and make the payment.

Maintenance and Monitoring

Momentum Solar offers complimentary system maintenance and monitoring with each of its commercial and residential solar systems, which helps to ensure that the system is always functioning optimally. 

The company provides monitoring services through Enphase MyEnlighten, which allows customers to verify their system's health and performance; view energy production by month, day, or hour; analyze performance against historical weather data; and share performance information on social medial platforms from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Solar Loan Transfer

If a customer needs to sell their home while still under contract, Momentum Solar will allow them to transfer their solar agreement to the new homeowners. This feature is seems to be an anomaly in the industry: generally, if you sell your house, you’ll need to pay off your solar loan balance. The company's customer experience team can walk the customer through the entire process and will help them to complete the transfer. 

Momentum Solar boasts a 100 percent success rate with system transfers.

It is unclear whether or not the new homeowners have the same eligibility requirements as the initial homeowner. 

• No NABCEP Certification
• Momentum Solar Complaints

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 Complaints

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.
