Our Mission
Lower the Cost of Residential Solar + Storage
We believe that energy independence shouldn’t be a premium product.
Today’s systems are too expensive because they weren’t designed for how homes use energy now.
Stormentum was built around a simple premise
If we want mass adoption of storage-first solar, we need to dramatically cut the cost of current systems.The best way to do that?
Design a system that puts storage first.
