What the Lawsuit Alleges
Two consolidated class actions — Niemczyk v. Pro Custom Solar LLC and Hill et al. v. Pro Custom Solar LLC — alleged that Momentum Solar violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and related state telemarketing laws by placing automated telemarketing calls about solar services without prior consent. The class period spans March 5, 2015 through January 2, 2025. (Separately, the company has faced distinct employment-discrimination suits, which are not part of this TCPA settlement.)

Scam & Misinformation Warnings
Whenever a brand lawsuit goes viral, scam sites and bad actors follow. Watch for these red flags:
Fake 'Momentum Solar Settlement' Websites
The only court-authorized site was SolarTCPASettlement.com, administered by Angeion Group. Any other site claiming to process Momentum Solar claims or collect your personal information is not affiliated with the official settlement.
Unsolicited Calls or Texts About Your Check
Scammers offer to 'expedite' settlement payments in exchange for personal or banking information. The official administrator contacts claimants by mail and the official website only — not unsolicited phone calls.
Attorneys Offering to 'File Your Claim' for a Fee
No attorney or third party was needed to file — the process was free and self-serve. Be wary of any service that charged a fee to submit a claim on your behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the Momentum Solar lawsuit about?
Two federal class actions alleged that Momentum Solar (legally Pro Custom Solar LLC) violated the TCPA by making automated or pre-recorded telemarketing calls to consumers without prior written consent. The cases covered calls made between March 5, 2015 and January 2, 2025.
How much is the settlement worth?
Up to $30 million, depending on when Momentum Solar pays. The company can pay $20 million within 7 years (QuickPay) or pay on a structured 15-year schedule reaching $30 million total — one of the first deals of its kind in a major TCPA class action.
Can I still file a claim?
No. The claims deadline was July 31, 2025, and the settlement received final approval August 18, 2025. Only individuals who filed a timely, valid claim are eligible for payment.
How much will each claimant receive?
Payouts are pro-rated per call, for up to 50 qualifying calls. Based on an estimated 10,000 valid claims, documentation projected roughly $1,266 to $1,933 per claimant. Actual amounts depend on total valid claims and the structured payment schedule.
Was this the only lawsuit against Momentum Solar?
No. Separate from this TCPA settlement, Momentum Solar has also faced employment-discrimination lawsuits alleging mistreatment of workers at certain locations. Those cases are distinct proceedings and are not part of the telemarketing settlement.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
