Momentum Solar Review

Residential solar installerInstalling solar since 2009, per an older company articleBased in South Plainfield, New JerseyProfile updated October 15, 2026

Is Momentum Solar a good choice?

A Momentum proposal is worth comparing on its cash price, equipment and after-installation support. Get the workmanship and roof-penetration terms in writing, along with the expected installation and utility-approval milestones. Its own Google listings show offices in nine states, but its website blocked our access, so we could not confirm its current workmanship-warranty term. An older company article says it has installed solar since 2009 and does not use subcontractors.

Why choose Momentum Solar, and why you might not

What Momentum does well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers it competes with most.

Reasons to choose Momentum

  • It has offices in nine statesMomentum’s Google listings show offices in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida and Nevada. Ask if it works at your address.

  • You can buy, borrow or rentYou can buy the panels, take a loan, rent them, or take a PPA (you pay for the power; the company owns the panels). An older Momentum page says renting includes upkeep. Trinity lists the same four.

  • Its licenses checked out in four statesMomentum’s licenses in New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts were active when we checked on October 12, 2026, and its Texas license on October 14. Ask for the license in your state too.

  • Its own crews do the installAn older Momentum article says it does not use subcontractors for solar installs, and that it has installed solar since 2009. Ask who will be on your roof.

Reasons to look at others

  • We could not confirm its warrantyMomentum’s website blocked us, so we could not read its current warranty. That covers its own work, the equipment and leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. Get every warranty in writing before you sign.

  • Its Google score is the lowest hereIts head-office Google listing shows 3.6 from 1,475 reviews. That is lower than Trinity and Venture in the table below. Read its recent reviews before you sign.

  • Some owners report slow fixesIts negative reviews describe slow warranty claims, wiring left unfinished, a roof that began to leak, and missed visits. Ask who handles problems after the install and how long they usually take.

  • We could not confirm its brandsWe could not confirm which panel, inverter or battery brands Momentum uses. Ask for the exact models in your written quote.

Momentum Solar reviews: what customers say

Each review site shows its own score; we read them on October 12 and 13, 2026 and do not combine them or add our own rating.

  • Google3.6 / 51,475 reviews · South Plainfield, NJ office listing only, not company-wideRead reviews
  • Trustpilot1.8 / 532 reviews · All reviews on its Trustpilot pageRead reviews

The four positive reviews below praise knowledgeable, responsive sales and support staff. The five negative reviews describe slow warranty claims, wiring and panel guards reported as left unfinished, a roof that started leaking after an inspection called it sound, poor service after installation and missed schedules. These are issues to ask about, not a measure of how often they happen. Ask Momentum who handles warranty claims after installation and how long they usually take.

How we picked these: the five newest 5-star and the five newest 1- or 2-star reviews with written text on Google and Trustpilot, as of October 2026 (231 reviews read, back to Oct 19, 2020). Each quote is one sentence, word for word. Picking the highest and lowest ratings shows the range of experiences; it is not a representative sample, and we did not verify what reviewers describe.

How much does Momentum Solar cost?

Momentum does not publish prices that we could access. Your price depends on system size, equipment and the plan you choose, so compare the written proposal line by line. For a state benchmark, see our solar panel cost guide.

Purchase

You own it

You pay the full price upfront. Listed on an older Momentum plans page.

Solar loan

You own it

Monthly payments to a financing partner. Listed on the same older page.

Lease

A company owns it

A monthly payment with maintenance included, per the older page.

PPA (power purchase agreement)

A company owns it

You pay a set rate for each kilowatt-hour the panels produce.

From an older Momentum plans page (copyright 2022) and FAQ, read October 9, 2026. They show what Momentum offered then, not what it offers today. Ask for the current list.

Momentum’s older website linked to a page about Enphase, which makes inverters and batteries. Ask which panel, inverter and battery models your proposal uses. In July 2026 Momentum said its sales, installation and service crews are in-house. We have not rechecked that.

Momentum publishes no warranty terms on any page we could read: its older plans page names a “solar panel and workmanship warranty” without a term, and its current site blocks our access. Terms are provided in the contract. Your signed agreement decides what applies.

Where does Momentum Solar operate, and which licenses were checked?

Momentum’s website blocks our access, so we could not read its own service-area list. Its claimed Google Business listings, checked October 14, 2026, show offices in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida and Nevada. It also holds an active Texas electrical contractor license, and an archived coverage page from May 2025 lists Texas. Its Arizona license (ROC 327781, held by Pro Custom Solar LLC doing business as Momentum Solar) is suspended for non-renewal, so it cannot contract in Arizona today; we do not list Arizona. An office in a state does not mean every address qualifies or that EcoGen can connect you with Momentum there. Each state link opens our installer comparison for that state.

Licenses

On October 12, 2026 we searched the Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts registries by company name and found six active records, and on October 14, 2026 Texas showed an active electrical contractor license. Its Arizona license is suspended. We could not read Momentum’s website to confirm that it publishes these numbers. Check the license yourself under the exact business name on your contract; in New Jersey the electrical permit is held by Pro Custom Solar LLC, doing business as Momentum Solar.

  4. Ask for dated milestones: design, permits, installation, inspection and permission to operate.
  5. Ask who owns the system and who you call when something stops working.
