Momentum Solar

Momentum Solar was founded in 2009 in South Plainfield, New Jersey, by Cameron Christensen and Arthur Souritzidis. What began as a small operation with just four employees has grown into one of the nation’s larger residential solar installers, now employing over 2,000 people across multiple locations. The company has experienced rapid expansion, earning recognition on Inc. Magazine’s 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for multiple consecutive years and being named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces in 2019. Arthur Souritzidis also received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2019 for Construction, Engineering & Building Services in New Jersey. From their South Plainfield headquarters, Momentum Solar serves homeowners across New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, and Texas with comprehensive solar installation services. The company handles the complete customer lifecycle in-house—from initial consultation and custom system design through permitting, installation, and activation—without relying on subcontractors for installations. This vertical integration approach gives homeowners in South Plainfield and surrounding New Jersey communities a single point of contact throughout their solar journey, which can simplify the transition to home solar. Momentum Solar works exclusively with Tier 1 solar panel manufacturers—companies that have been producing panels for more than five years with fully automated production. They partner with Enphase Energy for microinverter technology, which converts solar energy directly at each panel rather than through a central inverter. For homeowners interested in energy independence, Momentum offers battery storage solutions including the Enphase Encharge systems, allowing solar energy to be stored for use during power outages or peak demand periods. The company maintains BBB accreditation with an A+ rating and has completed thousands of solar installations since 2009. Momentum’s mission centers on helping homeowners take control of rising electricity costs by generating cleaner, price-protected power. Their financing options include both purchase and solar loan programs, designed to make the switch to solar panels accessible to qualified homeowners throughout their service areas. For New Jersey homeowners evaluating solar installation options, Momentum represents a locally-grown company with substantial industry experience and a full-service approach to residential solar energy systems.
