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…

Moxie Solar meets with State Representative Art Staed

Blog

Today CEO Jenn Hall and President Jason Hall met with a State Representative from Iowa House District 66 in Cedar Rapids. Art Staed stopped by Moxie Solar to talk about the future of solar energy in Iowa. Art had this to say: "The Halls are concerned about current policy and budget legislation that would remove solar tax credits and other energy-saving incentives while placing barriers on grid connection, including flat monthly rates. Moxie Solar's request, “We just need things to remain ‘status quo’.” I agree with the Halls, and not just because solar is better for the environment than fossil fuels - which it certainly is - but it's fiscally sound. Economically, Iowa can’t afford to risk losing hundreds of good-paying solar energy jobs. Solar energy tax credits pay for…
