Pros
They use Microinverters, and so do 90%+ of competitors. However, reps are instructed to say, per their presentation script: "99 out of 100 installers use a central or string inverter system" This is a lie, not merely a mistake, because Momentum knows it's not true. They use panels with a 25 year warranty ...and so do most competitors. They use low profile black panels with black aluminum frames ..and so do most competitors. They don't subcontract ....and neither do most competitors (Momentum lies by implication in its script). This is mostly a commodity product that lasts 40+ years, with no moving parts. Most installers use products with the exact same specs and warranties.
Cons
High pressure car sales, no disrespect to car salesmen. Pressure to one call close a $50K item with a 20 or 25 year loan, and not allow a homeowner to comparatively shop for price and value. This is insane, and slimy. Even if I'm just remodeling a $5K project for example, I'm shopping. If the sale doesn't close, and homeowner states: "I've got another company bidding in a few days" or "I need to research" ....magic then happens. A today only price appears from the sky .....from a manager one calls on speaker while with the homeowner. "Efficient Partner Pricing". You see "our panels are our advising, and by helping us be more efficient, only visit with you once, we pass those savings to people who can move forward today" Vomit. Yes, value is not merely price. It's composed of product and service as well. But how to know value without comparative shopping? Momentum is on the high side of pricing, and that's not necessarily a negative....but one needs to comparative shop to evaluate value. On to Orwell and how dystopia arrived. After investing one week of very hard work, one week into training, on iPad set up day they only then announce Rilla, an electronic voice recording nanny one must activate for each appointment. Big Brother is here. I never would have accepted the job offer if told about Rilla during the interview process. Would you have accepted? Promised 15 appointments per week, 3 per day. Reality? I sat with 3 to 4 homeowners per week. 70% of appointments were trash - no shows, connected townhouses (not qualified), and similar wastes of my time. Factor in no or very poor savings with solar for many homeowners ("Wow, in year 4 of your 20 year loan, compared to the evil utility that keeps increasing rates, you start to save $4 per month!!), or poor credit.... about 60% of actual sits are a potential sale.
