Momentum Solar Donates Over $11,000 to Make-A-Wish

Posted on by Jennifer Scholl

Momentum Solar’s retail team was joined by former MLB All-Star, Todd Frazier, in presenting a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey.

MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Demonstrating its commitment to community and social responsibility, Momentum Solar, a leading residential solar company, hosted a fundraising event at The Samuel & Josephine Plumeri Wishing Place in Monroe Township, New Jersey. The event included presenting a check of over $11,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s New Jersey chapter.

The charity event, led by Momentum Solar’s Retail team, was attended by both employees and friends of the company who gathered to contribute to the meaningful cause. Special guest Todd Frazier, a former MLB All-Star and New Jersey native, also got involved and was a participant in the event. “If I was a young kid going in there I’d be the happiest in the world. We know they’re going through some unfortunate problems they have in their life and to get back it was just a fantastic day and time to see the smiles on these kids’ faces. Nothing better,” said Frazier.

Momentum’s Director of Retail, Tony Rodriquez, played a pivotal role in planning and executing the fundraiser. “Part of our goal at Momentum Solar is ultimately to make the community in New Jersey a better place and to do that, we could not think of a better partner or partnership than here with the Make-A-Wish Foundation,” said Rodriquez.

Is Your Roof Ready for Solar?

Posted on by Jennifer Scholl

Getting Started: The Roof-Solar Relationship

Are you ready to embrace the eco-friendly benefits of solar? To get prepared, it’s crucial to ensure that your home, particularly your roof, is up to the task. Your roof and solar panels work hand in hand, and it’s crucial that they both are up to modern building code standards. Their compatibility is key to a successful and efficient solar system. A sturdy roof is an essential foundation for your solar panels [1]. Solar panel installations add weight to your roof and it’s important your roof can be strong enough to carry the extra load and keep you protected. That’s why it’s important to assess the condition of your roof and consider any necessary upgrades before installing the solar panels.

Unsure if your roof can handle solar panels? Get started with us today by calling 1-888-MOMENTUM and let’s get your roof ready for a sun-powered future!

The Roof Check: A Crucial First Step

Not all roofs are created equal. The age, material and condition of your roof can greatly affect the installation process [2]. An old or deteriorating roof might need to be replaced before going solar. Momentum’s in-house roofing services are proud to be homeowners’  go-to experts for evaluating and upgrading your roof. Our specialists will guide you through the process, ensuring that your roof is not just functional, but optimal for your new solar installation.

Why Go Solar?

Going solar and renovating your roof both contribute to increasing your home’s value [6]. You’re hitting two homeownership birds with one stone! Not only are you making a long-term investment in your property, but you’re also saving on energy bills. This means more financial freedom to allocate resources to what truly matters, such as spending quality time with family on memorable vacations or putting your children through higher education.

Transitioning to solar energy is not just a wise financial decision, but it also contributes significantly to reducing your carbon footprint. By choosing solar, you are actively participating in building a sustainable future for the next generations [3]. In fact, the average residential solar system reduces more than 15,000 pounds of CO2 annually [4].

Solar power is more affordable than ever, thanks in large part to generous state incentives and the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). The ITC, a pivotal policy for solar adoption, allows homeowners to deduct a whopping 30% percent of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes. 

On top of that, many states offer additional incentives, rebates and tax credits that further lower the cost of going solar. By stacking these incentives, homeowners can significantly reduce the upfront investment required for solar installation. This makes solar power not only an environmentally conscious choice but also a financially savvy one. With these incentives, switching to solar becomes an attainable and economically beneficial move for homeowners of all budgets and backgrounds.

U.S. Tech Giants Paving the Way for Solar Advancements: What This Means for Homeowners

Posted on by Jennifer Scholl

When we think about solar energy, residential rooftop panels may come to mind. However, some of the largest contributors and beneficiaries of solar power are actually US tech companies. Companies such as Google, Apple and Facebook are leading the charge in investing in solar energy. Their commitments have resulted in significant advancements in the solar industry and homeowners stand to benefit from these developments.

American tech companies are among the biggest buyers of solar power, as they seek to counter the energy consumption of their data centers with renewable sources. These data centers, which are fundamental to the functioning of the internet and cloud services, consume enormous amounts of electricity. As a result, tech companies are making substantial investments in solar energy [1]. 

Solar isn’t just for tech giants– seize the day and the rays! Call 1-888-MOMENTUM today and begin your clean energy journey with Momentum Solar. 🏡🌞

The Inflation Reduction Act

Investing in renewable energy sources like solar can help companies stabilize their energy costs by reducing reliance on traditional utility services. This can be particularly advantageous in an inflationary environment, where energy costs can significantly fluctuate.

One driving force behind these investments is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA is legislation that encompasses various incentives, including tax credits for companies that invest in renewable energy sources [2]. These incentives make it financially feasible and attractive for both large corporations and individual homeowners to invest in solar power. This federal incentive allows companies and homeowners alike to offset the costs of the initial investment in solar power.

Creating a Solar Market for You

The cumulative impact of these investments by tech giants goes beyond the offsetting of carbon emissions. Their commitments have created a larger market for solar technology, which, in turn, drives down costs through economies of scale [3]. Additionally, the corporate procurements of renewable energy have encouraged utility companies to offer more renewable options, further aiding the transition to cleaner energy [1].

What does this mean for the average homeowner? The actions taken by these tech giants have made solar energy more accessible and affordable for everyone. Plus, similar to large corporations, homeowners can also benefit from the IRA by receiving tax credits for their solar investments [2].

The  Inflation Reduction Act helps make solar energy more affordable for homeowners in the United States. It allows homeowners who install solar panels to deduct a percentage of the cost of the installation from their federal income taxes. This means that you can save a significant amount on the upfront costs of your solar system, making it a more financially viable option.

How Momentum Can Help

For homeowners looking to make the switch to solar, Momentum Solar is a top choice. Offering tailored solar plans, impeccable customer service and high-quality materials, Momentum Solar ensures a seamless transition to clean, renewable energy.

Forbes reports that solar panels are viewed as home upgrades, similar to a renovated kitchen or a finished basement! Panels on your roof can make your home more attractive to potential buyers [3].
