MOXIE Partners with Local Businesses to Empower Eastern Iowa Healthcare Workers

Blog, Press

Update 4/3/20: Due to overwhelming support and appreciation for this program we have extended this offer to all healthcare workers living in any of the many MOXIE service areas. Necessity is the mother of innovation.

Developed through a partnership of local businesses, including MOXIE, GreenState Credit Union, New Pioneer Co-op, Crescent Electric, and Relion Insurance Solutions, the EMPOWERMED Program provides Eastern Iowa healthcare workers with significantly discounted solar energy systems (at or near MOXIE’s cost) and an immediate $1,000 for grocery delivery, childcare, house cleaning, or anything else they may need.

Solar installers – One of the fastest growing jobs in the nation

Blog

In the solar industry, North Liberty-based solar company Moxie became one of the state’s early adopters of solar when it began operations in 2008. Company founder Jason Hall said Moxie has grown from seven employees in fewer than five years ago to close to 100 — with the large majority of those employees in Iowa. Hall attributed growth in jobs to the strength of the solar market across the state, which has been driven largely by the falling cost of installing solar arrays. Hall said the cost has dropped from about $8 per watt a decade ago to around $3 per watt. “There’s never been a better time, from an economics point of view, to purchase solar,” he said. Growth in solar has allowed the company to expand into other…

We Have a New Identity with the Same Commitment to Customers

Blog

For over a decade, we have helped communities in Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, and Texas move toward energy independence. We started small and expanded to become a national leader. This gave us the opportunities that allowed us to grow into who we are today. As a company that serves not just one community but many across America, we decided it was time to update our image and own our place as America’s Solar Company. Our previous identity was effective but subtle. We needed something that reflected our unwavering commitment to customers and country. After months and months of research, thought, and self-reflection, we are excited to unveil our new branding as MOXIE. A New Name and a New Look While we still work with solar panels, the word was…

Moxie Rebrands for a National Image – Corridor Business Journal

Blog

“Moxie: America’s Solar Company” was the new brand and tagline introduced April 11 at Moxie’s Dixon, Illinois, operations center. CEO Jason Hall said the company has been growing fast, and some things had to change. “We’re now in Denver, Austin, Cleveland, Chicago,” Mr. Hall said. “It was our opinion that our [previous] logo wasn’t going to play as well in those markets. We kind of look like the local solar installer. We want to be seen as a national provider.” Mr. Hall founded the company in North Liberty in 2008. In its original iteration as Greenhall Industries, the business helped Iowans become more energy efficient with services such as lighting upgrades that could be funded partly through utility rebates. When Iowa approved a solar income tax credit in 2012 to…

Illinois Home Solar – Best Deal in the Nation

[caption id="attachment_1686" align="alignright" width="300"] A Moxie Solar build incorporating many different build types![/caption] In June of 2017, the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA), passed in Illinois.
