    Well, it's been a tad over 4 1/2 years since I turned on my Pell Solar installed panels. After replacing my 20 year old A/C Unit and Coil with a much more efficient model a couple of months ago... I am well back into "Net Zero" energy costs. Even with running it colder than before. Bonus! Especially at night. I am getting close to my projected ROI on my out-of-pocket cost of the system. I have to say, buying solar was one of the best investments I made. It pays dividends every month. And with So. Cal. Edison putting in a 14% increase on power... the dividends will only grow. Don't lease. Buy. And consider Pell Solar. I'm glad I did.

    Pell solar was the easiest companies that I have had the pleasure to give them my business!!! Shawn from first call to last call very professional and great communication allll along the way! He always answered all my questions and did not make me feel pressured to buy with him. He made it more informative than sales like. I live in the city of Colton and it's known that Colton makes it difficult to work with for solar but Shawn got around it efficiently. I would recommend this company for Solar! Also to make it even better very competitive prices which made it a bonus! I'm a very satisfied customer!

    We found Pell Solar and spoke to Sandra at the LA County Fair. Sandra and her team was super awesome. Going through the whole proc ess Sandra and her team made it easy for me and my family. Everytime i have a question about the solar or going through the process Sandra was there to answers all my question. And the installation team was very professional. Thank you Sandra and her team. Thank you Pell Solar Inc.

    Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference in solar companies. We were very fortunate to find Pell Solar in Ontario, Ca and worked with the General Manager, Aaron Imamura. We interviewed 4 solar companies two via the Internet presentations and two in person before we selected Pell Solar. The other companies wanted to sell us back up systems, or offer special incentives if we would sign with them. Later we found out the incentives were listed on their website for anyone who wanted to install their system. Our roofer recommended Pell Solar. What I like about Aaron is that he had our best interest in mind in setting up our system. To give you an example, we live in an HOA complex with 118 units and there is not much difference in the size of the three style model homes and their construction. Aaron who is very knowledgeable with the various systems took the time to evaluate our current electrical circuit breaker maxima rating, and made the effort to go to the city and confirmed it could be unutilized without any need to upgrade our current electrical system. At the same time, two other neighbors were in the process of installing a solar system for their homes. Both owners had identical style homes with less over all solar system capacity from what we were installing. One neighbor used a different company and ended up having their electrical panel upgraded. The other neighbor who I referred to use Pell Solar used their current system and saved the cost of upgrading their electrical system. I might note that the neighbor with the new updated electrical system could not close the door to the circuit board breaker because the meter installed had a larger glass meter cover. This neighbor ended up having the frame extended out from wall in order to accommodate for the larger meter glass dome. The other important point was the placement of the solar panels to get the most efficient use from the panels. One of the companies we interviewed with wanted to put all the panels on our flat roof. I was surprised because I did not like the idea of placing the panels in the back of our home with less solar access and an 81 foot pine tree that would cast a shadow. I was fortunate to have an Aurora Shade Report from one of the other companies we interviewed, which showed the best locations were on the pitched roofs in the front and back side of our home. Aaron understood this and built a solar plan that would get the highest solar access. He mentioned the worst placement would be the flat roof since it collects more dirt and requires cleaning on a regular scheduled basis. Moreover, our roof is a TPO covered roof that reflects the sunlight and keeps our home cooler in the summer time. There is a life time warranty on the material and you do not want to penetrate the roof TPO material, since it would void the roof warranty. Also, if you had to install solar panels on the flat roof there is an additional cost to seal the echelon plates by sealing the lag screws through mount and flashing into the underlying rafters. Here you are talking about spending thousands of addition dollars. Aaron provided a solar plan with 10 panels on our front garage roof and 16 on the back side of the pitched roof. Unfortunately our HOA came into play and they approved both of my neighbors systems. One with 15 panels on the back pitched roof and the other home with 24 panels on the front roof facing the street. In our case, we were denied for a lack of information. But in reality the HOA did not want any panels on the garage roofs and tried to make us place them on the flat roof. I'm writing this review because Aaron went through numerous telephone calls and meetings with the board members and in person to make them aware of the California Civic Code 714.b regarding solar installations. He was very diligent in working for us by protecting our rights in what the board could and could not do. Long story short, 3 months later it took one letter from our attorney to turn around this situation and not having to place any panels on the flat surface. I was finally given the authorization letter from the HOA with conditions of panel placement, which I reviewed with Aaron and he saw there was going to be additional cost to add a 4th array, but stated he would cover the cost to get the project completed. Pell Solar tried to layout the panels per the HOA wishes but due to clearances that are required by building code for the city and putting one panel in complete shade they are unable to layout the panels per the HOA request. Pell Solar finalized drawings putting 6 panels on one roof and 4 on the other roof. If you are looking for a solar company that is going to work with you and has your best interest in mind, plus an experienced crew that are competent and proficient in their job, I highly recommend, Pell Solar. We truly appreciate doing business with professional installers and especially working with Aaron Imamura.

    From the initial consultation to the PTO from Edison my journey has been a breeze.. Shawn Rogers came out to my house and explained to me every detail about the inns and outs of having solar on my roof I was very happy with his presentation.. that is why I chose Pell solar.. I have sat down with several other solar companies and was not impressed with how they did not know the answers to some of my questions.. The whole installation job was done in one day the crew was courteous and respectful as they did their work. I have a brand-new roof and they made sure to take care of it .. The installation looks very clean and custom compared to other solar panels I have seen on different houses from other companies.. Even though my panels are west facing only (my choice)and this being winter time my meter is still running backwards during peak hours.. can't wait to see how much power they put out in the summertime... I would recommend Pell Solar to any friend or family member

    See all

    Our first solar system was installed through Project Solar, which outsourced the installation, and…read moreunfortunately it was a nightmare from start to finish. Because of that experience, we were very cautious when we decided to add more panels and reached out to several different companies. From the very beginning, HPM Solar stood out. They were easy to work with, communicated clearly, and consistently kept me informed about every step of the process. There were no surprises and no guessing about what was happening next. We were also extremely fortunate that an earlier installation slot opened up, allowing HPM to fit us in just in time to take advantage of the expiring tax credit -- something we truly appreciated. The installation crew was excellent: professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. They did great work and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left, which really showed their attention to detail and pride in their work. Overall, the entire solar process with HPM Solar was very smooth and stress-free, a complete contrast to our previous experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering solar.

They were professional, clean, cordial, and the end result was exceptional. I am very pleased with the work performed and everyone that was involved. I hope highly recommend them especially since it's so hard to find a company that will still be around in years to come. My worry was that the installation may contribute to future leaks due to rain. I observed the installation process asking questions and am satisfied that I won't have any issues.

First company arrives in a Tesla and then uses my ladder to climb into the attic and reports we have to have a moisture test with various monitors for possible mold and then we will have our lab provide a 16-page report.... $970. Question how much to repair the leak? We will not give a quote until you pay the $975. Thanks, and bye. Number 2, another Tesla and this fellow walks around the lawn and says we will replace the cap around the chimney box. $3500, Thanks, and bye. Number 3, Walks the roof, inspects the attic for leak and reports we must remove 4 solar panels, replace 500 square feet of plywood and replace the shingles, the damage was caused by the solar installation and with a senior discount, $8,750. Keep in mind the roof has not leaked after the solar was installed, 11 years ago. Mr. Joe installed our solar and no one will move our system but he and his crew. We call Mr. Joe, his crew arrive in a work truck with ladders, inspects the attic and finds no excessive water damage to the plywood, removes the chimney box lid, climbs inside to inspect and reports, replace the cap and you are good to go or use some sealant and flex seal first and review the results. THAT IS HONESTY, INTEGRITY AND SKILL!!! We have known Joe for 11 years and we are grateful we located he and his company and you will be too!

The installers were awesome and got me going quickly. So regarding the communication issues I had with the company, things happen, people get busy and sometimes delays do occur. I'm just glad we were able to get everything resolved. Pricing, I did get a couple of additional quotes and Option One blew them out of the water. Could it be those other companies assumed I needed the parts and labor? Maybe, but I was very clear that I had the parts already. Bottom line it never hurts getting quotes and going from there. Service, so I got all the paperwork done yesterday early afternoon and was scheduled today (5/1) at 8am. I do realize there needs to be a buffer between appointment time and actual arrival time, I usually just assume an hour after the appointment time. But the techs were here at almost exactly 8am. As I have very limited knowledge on solar panels, the fact none of them fell off my roof (panels or techs) and nothing blew up, then it's safe to say they did a fantastic job. In the end my system is fixed and I'm happy. Also if I ever need work done on my system again I'm calling these guys up.
