Momentum Solar Paid Up to $30 Million Over Robocalls — Here's What the Case Actually Covered

Momentum Solar Paid Up to $30 Million Over Robocalls — Here's What the Case Actually Covered

If you've gotten a call from Momentum Solar you never asked for, you're not the only one, and there's a court record to prove it. In August 2025, a federal court gave final approval to a class action settlement against Pro Custom Solar LLC — the company operating as Momentum Solar — worth up to $30 million, resolving claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.



It's worth being precise about what this case was and wasn't. This wasn't a lawsuit about bad installations, misrepresented savings, or predatory financing — the issues that dominate most solar litigation. This was specifically about unwanted telemarketing: people who received two or more calls they hadn't consented to, within a defined time window, had a path to a payout from a fund that started at $20 million and could grow to $30 million depending on how quickly the company paid into it.

Why does "two or more calls" matter legally, not just as an annoyance?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act sets specific, numeric thresholds for what counts as an actionable violation — it's not enough that a call was unwanted in a general sense. The law is built around things like whether autodialed or prerecorded calls were made to a number without prior express consent, and repeated contact after that consent either never existed or was withdrawn. That's exactly why this settlement's class definition centered on a specific call count within a specific window — it's not describing "Momentum Solar called me and I was annoyed," it's describing a pattern that meets the legal definition Congress wrote into the statute back in 1991, specifically to stop this kind of high-volume telemarketing overreach.

How settlement funds like this typically pay out

Structured settlements with a floor and ceiling, like this one's $20-30 million range, are common in TCPA cases because the final number usually depends on how many valid claims come in and how the company chooses to pay into the fund over time. That's part of why claim deadlines matter so much in these cases: the size of each individual payout, and sometimes the total fund itself, is directly affected by how many people file before the cutoff. Once that window closes, the court and claims administrator move into a payment phase working through however many valid claims were actually submitted, on a timeline tied to when the company completes its payment obligations.

If you're reading this hoping to file a claim, I want to be straight with you: that window closed on July 31, 2025. If you didn't file by then, this specific settlement isn't available to you now. The fund is still working through payments to people who did file, on a schedule tied to the company's payment timeline, but no new claims are being accepted.

Why this still matters if you're evaluating or already dealing with this company

So why does this matter if the door's already closed? Two reasons. First, if you're currently evaluating Momentum Solar as an installer, or you're already a customer trying to figure out whether a pattern of behavior you're seeing fits something documented, this case is real, court-confirmed evidence — not a rumor or a one-star review, but a finalized federal settlement. Second, telemarketing violations often aren't isolated from everything else. A company willing to call people who never consented to be contacted is a data point worth weighing alongside anything else you're evaluating about how that company treats customers once they're under contract.

Separately, Momentum Solar has also faced an unresolved 2019 workplace discrimination case that remains open as its own matter — a different kind of allegation entirely, and one that hasn't reached a public resolution as of now.

If you have a Momentum Solar system and you're dealing with something else entirely — savings that didn't materialize, financing terms that don't match what you were told, a lease or PPA you want out of — the TCPA settlement itself won't help you with that. But it's a useful data point, and if you're building a broader case, documenting your own experience alongside a company's confirmed pattern of behavior is never a bad idea.

A few things worth knowing

Can I still file a claim in this settlement?
No. The claim deadline was July 31, 2025, and no new claims are being accepted. The fund is now in the payment phase for people who filed before that date.

Does this settlement mean Momentum Solar admitted wrongdoing?
Settlements of this kind typically resolve without an admission of liability. The company agreed to pay into the fund to resolve the claims, but that's separate from a formal finding of guilt.

Does this case say anything about Momentum Solar's actual solar installations or contracts?
No. This settlement was specifically about telemarketing calls under the TCPA, not about installation quality, savings projections, or financing terms.

If I'm already a Momentum Solar customer, does this affect my contract?
Not directly. If you have separate concerns about your contract's terms or performance, those would need to be addressed independently of this telemarketing settlement.
