After getting a recommendation from a friend, I hired Stellar Solar to install my solar panels. My panels are working great and they got it done right the first time. Very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. My bill dropped dramatically and I'm glad we went with Stellar. I'll be using them again in the future for any solar needs I have.

Going solar was not an easy decision but not one we regret. Every where we went we were bombarded with sales pitches from different solar companies. Many were eager to get started as soon as we signed on the dotted line. It wasn't until we met Connor (760-385-3998 / connors@stellarsolar.net ) that we finally felt confident in not only the decision to go solar, but confident in the product we were purchasing.
What made Connor and Stellar solar different was the patience involved in helping us understand how solar could save us money each month. What makes their product superior and innovative in comparison to others. I finally understood what I was purchasing and why. All the while ZERO pressure to make a decision or go with his quote. I ended up backing out of a commitment with a competitor which I rarely do. But it has been worth it.
Since my installation I have recommended Connor and Stellar Solar to family. They have been equally as impressed and happy with their decision to go solar. Highly recommend!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 3335561094Mar 19, 2024
We found Stellar Solar through our friends who also got solar for their home. We were on the fence about getting solar because of the price tag that came along with it. Connor Smith answered all our questions and put our worries at bay. He spent about two months working with us while we went back and forth. He explained the tax benefits we should take advantage of before it was too late. He also answered our technical questions in terms of our current power usage and how long-term solar usage will help ease our expenses, etc. Through the process we never felt pressured to sign up for solar and truly felt like Connor had our best interests at heart.
The installation process was a smooth process and was explained to us very well. We couldn't recommend Stellar Solar more highly. We experienced seamless service from start to finish!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Simon Y.San Diego, CA418473Mar 19, 2024Updated review
It's been 5 years since we installed our solar system. Connor was our rep at the time and we have been very impressed without system. We own to EVs and our ROIs has accelerated with increase in oil and energy cost. Looking back, i don't recall any issues, the entire process was as described by Connor. The most important thing for me is the company. Other Vida may have been cheaper but I wanted a company that has been around so if anything goes wrong, I know they would still be there.
Recently had my roof clean and my drone pics shows the quality of the lay out.

My initially inquiry occurred as a result of a recommendation from a close friend. I researched others, and while there were less expensive options, I decided that the recommendations that I received along with the company's reputation and how long they have been in business was my final factors.
The process was simple, we talked about my needs and then we talked about cost. I did not finance but the options seems reasonable (market rate). I did hold off on committing to anything until after my tenting was done which Connor and his team obliged. He even locked me down on the cost and the rebate to work with me but with several conditions allowing me to back out if I wanted.
Speed ahead! I executed the contract and shortly after we did a design walk. The solar team worked alongside my roofer (I also reroof) and everything appear seamless. After installation, everything was exactly how I asked! I left out details in this review on how I wanted the panels to be arranged and how the conduit run had to be concealed which they executed flawlessly.
Took no more than a few weeks for SDGE to send me the PTO. It's been great sense. Speaking of SENSE, Connor even recommended a nice device I look into which helped calculate my solar/energy in real time. Overall, I would recommend others! Check out the pictures of the installation and sense. - Jeff H.San Clemente, CA0113Mar 24, 2024
These folks delivered on every single promise. When was the last time a vendor did that for you? We installed 14 panels last year; have had NO problems whatsoever. These folks are the absolute greatest. All of my neighbors use them too.

I had a positive experience with Stellar Solar throughout my solar installation. Marc, my salesperson, was instrumental in resolving a potential issue with another installer and ensured a smooth process. Mario, who handled the electrical work, patiently addressed my questions during the installation.
Trent and his crew executed the installation efficiently, maintaining a clean and tidy workspace. The 2 Alex's involved in system activation completed the final steps seamlessly. Overall, Stellar Solar delivered a high-quality service, saving me from unnecessary roof replacement and providing a clean, efficient, and well-executed solar installation.
Very happy with my enphase system (2 batteries, and 25 panels) and already contemplating additional batteries.

Making the switch to solar was an exciting but daunting prospect, so I'm thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Stellar Solar. From the initial consultation to the final installation and follow-up, the entire process was seamless and professional.
We were recommended Stellar Solar from a friend who was also delighted with the installation they received. After reading all the positive online reviews, we called Stellar Solar and spoke to Peter Kennelly (760 884-1452/~peterk@stellarsolar.net ), whose expertise and enthusiasm immediately put us at ease. He patiently answered all our questions, clearly explained the options, and tailored a system that perfectly fit our needs and budget. We never felt pressured or rushed, which we appreciated.
The installation itself was seamless. The crew arrived on time and kept us informed every step of the way. They were friendly, respectful of our property, and took pride in their work. The entire system was installed flawlessly, exceeding our expectations.
Stellar Solar's commitment to customer satisfaction didn't end with the installation. Peter ensured a smooth transition with the utility company and even followed up to answer any post-installation questions we had. His responsiveness and genuine care solidified our positive impression.
Without a doubt, my family and I highly recommend Stellar Solar to anyone considering going solar. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. If you're looking for a company that will guide you through every step of the process and ensure a smooth, positive experience, look no further than Stellar Solar. And if you're lucky enough to get Peter as your consultant, consider yourself even luckier!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Edward B.Lakeside, CA2163Mar 19, 2024
I cannot overstate how terrific our system and service have been with Stellar Solar. Everything has gone beautifully - our panels look great, the system works great, and the service has been outstanding. When we needed one panel fixed, they did it right away. And most important, we have saved a ton of money!!!
From the start, we worked with Connor Smith. He not only walked us through the beginning, but has also answered numerous questions over the years. He is quick to back to us, helpful, honest, and up front. He's outstanding. We recommend both Stellar Solar and Connor.

We selected Stellar Solar for our solar installation 6 years ago because they were competitively priced, responsive, offered the options we wanted, and were able to answer the electrical engineering questions I had. The installation went well with no broken tiles or other issues. The system has performed flawlessly ever since. Connor Smith (760-385-3998, connors@stellarsolar.net) worked with us to size the system to accommodate our EV and EV Hybrid cars which resulted in a system payback in less than 5 years! I've recommended Stellar to our church, family members, and neighbors. I've only positive things to say about Connor, Stellar Solar, and our satisfaction with our solar system.
