After a year of solar experience I wanted to update my review. First, I've had occasion to call on Pell Solar for help resolving a minor issue in the year since installation and I'm happy to report they continue to answer my calls promptly and resolved my issue - which required a visit to my home - within a couple of hours. Also, I would advise anyone looking into solar to be sure not to over-size your system too much. I wanted mine over-sized a bit because we were previously trying to conserve so much we were uncomfortable; also I have three kids who are increasingly using electronics and I wanted to account for their continued and increasing use. I ended up with an overage at the end of the year and got a credit/check from my utility, but it was for a fraction (about 10%) of the amount shown on my statement. Reason: They give you full credit (full price) for overages throughout the year which can be applied to offset higher usage months. But if you end up with a credit balance at the end of the year, they only 'cash out' the overage for a small fraction of the regular cost of electricity. You come out the best when you get as close to 100% usage of the energy generated, you will not generate income from any overage. (My experience with my utility.) I am happy with my decision to get solar, and I am happy I selected Pell Solar. Thank you Mr. Rogers for continuing to answer my calls and your help along the way! read more

This has been a great 5 yrs! I receive a refund each year from SCE. The installation was 2 days, the end result left my roof absent of any exterior wiring. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PELLl solar! read more

This is the place to go for Solar! I have done research in regards to quality, value, customer service, and qualified solar companies...Pell Solar outweighs them all!!! I just had my solar put in about a month ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial phone call I made, the process was made simple and easy for me, I can't imagine it could have gone any smoother. They handled every little detail. I had the pleasure to work with Aaron and Sandra through the whole process. They made me feel at ease and were genuinely concerned with making sure I received the best product and service. Having my own interior design company, I appreciate and value their impeccable customer service. I can still count on them to return my call when I have had any questions, even a month after the install. It was a pleasure working with Pell Solar! I am recommending them to all of my neighbors! read more

This review was for the solar panels that was done back in June. We are highly recommended Josh, he is very easy to work with. We got 25 Solar panels on our roof, price is way lower than other company that we consulted, of course, we did many research and decided to go with Pell Solar. All the questions we had, Josh cleared them out and make us feel very confident for our final picked. About the installation, it was done neatly in a good time manner. His team is very professional and responsible. Thank you Pell Solar read more

We moved to Silver Lakes (Helendale, CA.) in October. I retired from PG&E in Red Bluff, CA. One of my duties at PG&E and at Seattle City Light over the past 10 years was to inspect solar installations for compliance with our utility standards. I know solar and have seen a wide variety in the quality and competence of solar installation companies. When I researched companies for our home, I was looking for technical competence and honesty. One company really stood out. Not just in this search but in my entire experience of dealing with solar installers. I looked them up on Yelp and was astonished to see that all of their reviews were 5 star which is almost impossible to do in this field. Pell Solar addressed all of my technical questions and provided a lot more insight into the lesser known details of making this large investment. They worked closely with me through and beyond the entire process. Their installation crew was one of the most professional and competent I have ever seen. Each member of the four person crew answered all of my questions thoughtfully. I highly recommend them because I know that they will recommend the optimum design and equipment for each installation and will install it with best practices and competence. Trust me when I say this. The better deal is usually not the lowest price but the proper installation. I know because I have seen a lot of cheap shoddy installations in my utility career. read more

We initially contacted Pell Solar because of their high ratings. We met Aaron Imamura for a consultation and he was simply amazing. Of the 5 solar companies we met with, Aaron was by far the best. He took the time to explain every detail of the solar process. Aaron kept us informed at every step. The installment crew was there on time and very friendly. They conducted themselves very professionally and the end product was top notch. They also answered any questions we had, and best of all they hustled and finished the install in one day, including an upgraded electrical panel. All the solar wiring went through the attic which made it more appealing. They left our yard as clean as when they started. If you are planning to install solar you should call Aaron last because you will see how much more informative and friendly he is compared to the competition. Don't take my word for it, just give Pell Solar a try and you will see for yourself why I'm giving them five stars. Thanks so much Pell Solar and especially Aaron for your outstanding work. It's hard to find trustworthy people like you. On a personal note...Aaron you are the man! read more

I've been so incredibly impressed. Everyone that has helped me has been personable, quick to respond and efficient. They have multiple products to pick from and were honest and gave reasonable pricing. I'd recommend them to anyone. Good people and good companies should do well. They are both and I wish them well. read more

Excellent service from the first informational call (I won't call it a sales call) to project completion. They provided all the information we needed and we never felt pressured to sign up before we were ready. Our home is old many aspects of it are not standard (e.g. no attic), but they found excellent solutions to all issues that arose. They went the extra mile to ensure that the final system looked good and not sloppy or funky (like some you see out there). We are completely satisfied. read more

We met pell solar at the county fair and from the beginning, they presented themselves as experts in the field giving us all the ins and outs of the solar panel industry. It was very easy to trust them and they were a standout among our other estimates. Their work was clean, expedient and hassle free. We had 27 panels installed along with a whole house fan and they were not only very professional, but they knew there stuff so well. That was very impressive! We would recommend pell solar to anyone. read more

I did my research for the last few years looking for a good solar company. I was referred to Pell Solar by a friend of mine and met with the representative from pell name Dan. It was a great rate that I got on the power. If you're looking for a great company Pell Solar is the way to go. read more

Had a LARGE system put in and the Pell Solar team made everything easy. Patient and informative, Josh walked us through the whole process and made us feel comfortable about making this big purchase. Called a few times to ask questions and they were always accommodating. Had one issue with our electric panel a few weeks in (kept popping a breaker) regarding the online data plug in the garage and they came right out ( and I live down in Murrieta) and addressed the issue immediately. Highly recommend! read more

I live in San Francisco and was visiting my sister who lives in Colton (Reche Canyon). She asked me to stay home and provide access on May 25, 2016 for Pell Solar to install her system because she was at work. They arrived earlier than expected in 2 large trucks and several men to do the install. These men were so polite and hard working, it was such a pleasure to watch them as they worked very hard all day. Four hours after they arrived, two Manager's from Pell Solar arrived to make sure the job was going well and that they would be finishing the install that day. Once their on-site foreman confirmed the job was on track, they left. Sure enough, they were finishing up the job when my sister arrived home around 5:00 PM. The Foreman reconfirmed with her what the next steps involved (city / county and Edison) approval and time frames. He responded to her questions and gave her contact info should she have any questions. She called me yesterday, exactly two weeks from the install date to tell me that everything had been approved and that she could flip the switch on that day. HOW GREAT WAS THAT ?? From beginning to end, they did exactly what they said they would do and then went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. I am writing this review because Pell Solar deserves praise for the job. Also, to reflect on a friend of mine who lives in Palm Springs and purchased a solar system from Vivant Solar. His install was in December 2015 and still to this day (June 9) his solar is not working. Poor installation, unable to get City / Edison approvals, contact person in Utah not up to date on his order resulting in long delays etc..In short, if you want a quality product with -0- delays, GO WITH PELL SOLAR !!!! read more

I purchased Solar through Pell Solar in 2015. I have been extremely happy with the system and haven't had any issues with energy production till last week. I called Pell and it was the owner on the other end of the line! ( what Solar company has the owner immediately picking up the phone?) He and I were talking about possible reasons as to why my production was down. We went through a few troubleshooting possibilities. He and another specialist were discussing the issue between themselves while I was on the phone and they came up with a possible reason. A faulty circuit breaker! He told me that his specialist would be down to replace it at 9am the next morning and low and behold he was there at 9am sharp!! The specialist had the system back up and running in no time. I am extremely thrilled with Pell Solar and there impeccable service. These types of companies are truly hard to find! read more

i live in an older 1960 home in highland. electricity bill rising yearly. checked 3 other solar companies i searched all the companies reviews. pell solar was always outstanding with 4 to 5 stars on reviews. i also found out that each step of the process i could get a phone call answered from salesman dirk or their office to answer my worries and competitors proposals. dirk the sales rep was on point and true to his timing and installation dates. i am now new owner of 19 solar panels and it was approved by the city inspector. great job and beautiful system. read more

There are a lot of solar companies out there right now, I think that Pell Solar was the best choice for me and I have been very happy with their service from the start. Solar tax credits and the way that you're billed for electricity can be very confusing, Pell solar took out all of the confusing red tape and mumbo jumbo and helped me figure out what I needed to wipe out my electric bill. Since I installed solar over a year ago I have not owed any money to Edison, that's exactly where I wanted to be. I would not hesitate to recommend Pell solar to anyone considering solar, it's definitely the way to go. I have $0 electric bills! Keep up the good work! read more

We could not be more satisfied with Pell Solar and here's why... After a lot of homework and ten consultations (eight face to face and two phone consultations) with well known solar companies, we found Pell professional, respectful, amiable, genuine, reasonable and very knowledgeable. Pell gave us an accurate picture of what to expect as well as an accurate estimation of timelines-including potential variables that are always going to be beyond any company's control (cities and power companies permits). Pell's contract is not some complicated maze of unclear gibberish that would require expert decoding by attorneys. The installation crew was timely, well mannered, clean, well skilled and did everything we were told they would do. I waited to write this review to make sure that it was not going to come from my giddy mood as I have been ecstatic ever since we were given the all-clear to operate. We've had our system online for two weeks now, are in the middle of winter, have had several cloudy days yet my electric bill has dropped 90% so come spring, summer and fall, we are going to be even more thrilled. Pell educated us on the importance of not over building a system that would be rejected by the utility company and create unnecessary delays. I haven't specifically named anyone in this review but I count at least 13 people that I either met, emailed, spoke to on the phone or had them work at my house and didn't have any bad encounters with anyone... Oh what the heck, Shaun, Dirk, Jim and Daniel are definitely worth mentioning as well as Victoria and Lisa in the office but the whole group of them have just been great. I very highly recommend Pell Solar! I also recommend switching to solar soon since the utility companies are trying to take away some of the advantages of home generation systems. (I just read an article in the OC Register about that.) Other companies (that I am very tempted to name): Amongst some of the things I experienced with other companies were (unwelcome/unsolicited) flattery, an  insult to my intelligence, given low estimates but offered inferior products, inferior method of running the conduit and one of the most expensive quotes came from a well known, national company that couldn't even tell me what brand of solar panel I would be getting from them but that it would definitely not be either of my top two choices! Seriously, it would have been like paying for an iPhone knowing you were going to get a Kyocera (literally). I just edited this (from six face to face to eight consultations) because when I was writing the review, I couldn't recall two of the middle of the spectrum company names-it had been four months-and didn't want to exaggerate but getting ready for my tax return~Looking forward to that 30% federal tax credit~I came across the other two companies that were included in the interviews. The point being, I conducted a LOT of interviews and chose Pell). read more

Pell Solar went above and beyond for me. Our Rep. Sean made us feel like family and answered all of our numerous questions with ease. I had 5 major highly advertised companies come out and most wanted to give us a cookie cutter system with sub par panels from China. Pell beat them with price, quality and customer service on what we wanted and not what others suggested. Pell exceeded my expectations. They Went over Sun Power panels and why they are the best. All I can say is THANK YOU Pell!!! I would highly recommend them. From start to finish was 6 weeks. BTW 2 of my friends are now going with Pell Solar. read more

Pell Solar - Solar Installation Near Me

I too met Shaun Rogers at the LA County Fair. I had previously met with multiple vendors and so Shaun was kind enough to cut to the chase with me and give me excellent pricing. His follow through and the installers attention to detail solidified the fact that I choose the right company. If you are looking for a straight forward, good deal with a quality company, look no further. PS. My panels were turned on last week and are performing great. 29 solar world 280's with 250 Enphase micro inverters. read more

Pell Solar is wonderful! They are very professional and the representative, Al De La Cruz, walked us through the whole process was always available. Picking Pell Solar was the best choice I could've made. I would definitely recommend this company!!! read more

After interviewing 5 big name solar companies, I was still not convinced on the equipment, payment and how solar really worked. I initially began with zero knowledge and after interviewing these 5 companies I thought I knew enough to get by but something was still holding me back. My coworker acknowledged my uncertainty of solar and recommended I contact the company who installed his solar; "Pell solar". I called Shaun at Pell solar and scheduled a consultation. Before I go on, Im telling you the truth when I say that my wife was fed up of hearing all the same ole things about solar when we interviewed the other companies and she chose not to sit in on the Pell consultation. So while Shaun was going over how the program worked I stopped him 15 minutes into the presentation because I was so impressed on how clear and direct he was about solar. I went into the other room and convinced my wife to sit in the presentation for at least 10 minutes, and if she was bored or unsatisfied at any time that she can just excuse herself from the consultation. Well, after 2 hours she was still at the table asking questions. What im trying to say is, this company doesn't beat around the bush and explains how solar works in a very clear presentation. Also, unlike the other companies when prices started high then drop the price to get me more interested, Pell solar started low and even threw in some additional incentives. I highly recommend this company to friends and family. Thank you Shaun, Jim and crew for the excellent work! read more

Pell Solar - Solar Installation Near Me

Solar doesn't get any better than Pell Solar. I researched and interviewed 6 different companies. Pell, hands down, is your company! Professional, clean install, updates throughout the process, fantastic group of people. From the sales rep to the install crew, the employees at Pell care about you as a person and not just a client. I'm a very involved customer. I demand updates and efficiency in a big process like this. I have to say our sales rep, Al Delacruz, handled every question, concern, text, email, and phone call I threw at hit him. Great guy and great company. read more

Pell Solar is professional. Al De La Cruz has been outstanding. Jim and his installation crew were excellent. My installation has just been completed. All went well. Al is on top of his field. Always available and able to work with all of my needs. I interviewed 5 different companies and I am positive I made the correct choice. read more

It is rare for me to leave a review but in this case it is well deserved! Al Delacruz walked us through the entire process without a glitch and we are very happy with our installation. I have a very busy work/ home life and Al's great customer service and attention to detail made the difference. If you are considering solar Al should be your first call. read more

Pell Solar installed panels on my roof about a year ago and so far everything has been great. The panels are working like they should and we are very happy we decided to have them installed. There were a couple little hiccups we had but our Pell sales rep (Al Dela Cruz) was always very helpful and provided us with a remedy in a very timely fashion. The price seemed better than the three other companies we had gotten quotes from. Installation was fast and looks good. Highly recommend this company. They still check up on me to make sure I am satisfied. Ben M. Menifee, CA read more

My wife and I have been debating getting solar for some time, after an Edison bill of over $600 we decided it was time. Had several companies come out for an estimate. We were very impressed with how Shaun presented the information. Very informative and we felt he was making suggestions with our best interest at heart. The 20 year warranty on the roof was unmatched and the mounting system they used was far less intrusive then other systems. Took them 2 days, and that included adding a new 200 amp panel. My projected bill for next month is - $100. Could not be happier. Shaun was great and would highly recommend them. read more

I had several companies come to give me estimates and attempted to design the best generation possible, all fell short of my expectations to the point I almost gave up! Then one day while at the L.A. County fair I ran into Rebecca from Pell solar and she took the ball and ran with it! The entire team at Pell put 110% efforts into designing a system for my house that in the end brought our electric bill from an average $400 per month down to about $19.!!! Great installation team, great follow up, excellent tech support, even now at our 1 year anniversary we are ever so glad we went with Pell solar! Thank you to Rebecca, Sandra, Erin and everyone at Pell, (If I didn't name everyone I'm sorry, I'm bad with names!) Don't look any further if you're looking for a solar company, these folks will do the job right for you the first time and you won't be sorry down the road either! Bob The Birdman! read more

There is a reason why Pell solar has fantastic reviews... Aaron and the crew are beyond fantastic!!!! I've done many projects in and around my home but the choice to do solar was the easiest, fastest, and smooth because of them! From the very beginning requesting quotes to first meeting Aaron went above and beyond my expectations and was clearly the most knowledgeable person I've talked to in years about solar. Once we decided on package and pricing the installation even in 50 mph winds went seamlessly. We are so happy to have gone with Pell and Aaron we would give 10 stars if we could. Call Pell you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Pell Solar completed our installation on 4/22/14....Nice clean install! A special shout-out and thanks to sales person Al Delacruz for all your efforts in putting this together for our family. We want to do our commercial building with Pell next! Your work crew is awesome and very professional. We look forward to our lower electric bills! We found a company which bid the system for less and Pell matched it! Thanks! read more

If you are considering installing solar in your home, purchasing a system that is to small and probably the cheapest, will not meet your energy requirement needs. You also should not buy one that is to big and expensive. I believe Pell solar sold us a system that meets our requirements. Our electric bill for the last 3 months from Edison has been less then $1.00 per month. We invited 5 solar sales people that we spoke with at the Victorville home show. After the first 4 meetings we were still confused and not sure what to do. Al De La Cruz did an excellent job explaining how the solar system works, How and where the panels would be installed on our house, the difference between buying and leasing. We purchased, with a very low interest rate, a tax rebate, paying it off in 12 years, and the payment equals what our winter rate was from Edison. Now we have lower energy bills and the solar system adds value to your house, thanks to Al and Pell solar. read more

After many years of procrastinating we finally decided to get serious about looking into solar. Aaron was great to work with. He gave us all the information we asked for, and after he made his proposal he followed up with us but did not push. We were happy with Pell's proposal, but asked another contractor for a proposal to compare "just in case". The feeling we got in dealing with the two different contractors was like the difference between night and day. Going through the process convinced us that Pell's price and the quality of the equipment they were using was superior. The fact that they do their own work, and don't contract out was also an important factor. When we finally made the decision I was amazed at how quickly they were able to move. It was the beginning of Dec when we finally decided to go forward. Today is Dec 21, and the installation is complete. The crew that did our installation was great. The entire installation was completed in one day, and was very smooth.We are now just waiting for the City to catch up and inspect so they can give us our permit to operate. We are looking forward to being able to watch that meter run backwards! We would highly recommend Pell Solar. read more

I wish I would have had the same experience as the other reviews say. My sales rep was very helpful but after the contract was signed they dropped the ball horribly!!! I had to make numerous phone calls to find out the status and after 51 days of nothing happening but excuses I had no choice but to fire them. The only good thing that happened was they returned my deposit without arguing. I hired a competitor and had my system designed, permitted, installed and PTO in 6 weeks from the day I signed the contract. :( Dirk Flejter read more

Pell installed at my home almost 3 years ago. Installation had a couple hiccups, but I am in the construction business and know that rarely does everything go 100% smoothly. I still provided 5 stars, as in all cases the response from Pell was professional, with their interest in making sure that I was satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend them. read more

We had our Solar System installed in August, 2016 and couldn't be happier with the system and Pell Solar. Phillip Hahn was our sales representative and I have to say he was the best of the bunch that came out to talk to us. Literally, we probably had 15-20 companies come out and give us their sales pitch and quotes, and Pell came in extremely competitive and with the system & extras we requested. Phillip came out to our house several times just to ensure we had all our questions answered completely and thoroughly. And even AFTER our system has been installed for a few months, he still calls monthly to make sure everything is working as designed and planned. He's just that kind of person. Frankly, all the Pell team members have been the utmost personable, friendly and professional. If you're going to go with Solar, I would highly recommend using Pell Solar as your provider and installer. On a side note, we also had roof redone (complete tear off and reroof) just prior to the solar installation, and they teamed perfectly with our roofing contractor, Morris Roofing, who also did a fantastic job. read more

We just had Pell Solar install our solar system. It was the easiest upgrade to our home that we have ever had. Pell was the most professional company to work with. Aaron was our salesman and walked us through the whole process from start to finish. He took the time to explain the system in terms which I could understand.. He laid out a timeline for the installation and it was right on. The work crew was right on time and absolutely great. The whole installation only took 1 1/2 days !!! Pell installed our system which involved 45 panels.. The installation crew was the best. The workmanship was outstanding . Everything from the installation of the solar panels to the positioning and finishing of the power boxes and the electrical panel were the most professional installation that I have seen !!! Very clean and neat work. No exposed wires or conduit running along the roof channels. All of the work was absolutely the best quality. It was a pleasure working with Pell Solar. They made it nice and easy for us. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking into solar. Thank you Pell Solar for everything !!!! read more

We bought our system about a year ago and we are very pleased. After meeting reps from several solar companies who could not meet our needs, we finally met Dirk at Pell solar. Dirk took very good care of us, We made a friend in Dirk! Thank you Dirk and Pell Solar! read more

The Pell Solar team is fantastic. Installation was smooth and the install team was very professional. They are an extremely customer oriented company. I did not feel like I was simply a quota the Al Del La Cruz had to fill for sales. He and the entire Pell team did not hard sell to me, they answered all questions and customized the solar farm to my house and needs. If you go with Pell Solar you will be very happy ! ! ! ! By the way, Jim the foreman on my job, top notch professional, others should learn from him. And the most important part I have paid $00.00 to SCE since they system was PTO (Permit to Operate) in March. Which means they engineered it correctly. read more

We first spoke with Pell Solar at the LA County Fair, and we then chose them to convert our home to solar after about 6 months and 5 other company estimates. We have now had the solar panels installed for about 9 months, and we couldn't be any happier. This is the best company with the best service to do your solar panels. Everything has turned out as promised. The installation is perfect and we no longer have an electric bill. In fact, last month we had a $70 credit from SCE for using less electricity than we produced! Definitely call Pell Solar before installing solar in your home. read more

Stay away--- I would try another company. The Installation so far seems ok, however the customer service has been bad. Questions have not been answered and once the check was written to Pell I did not here from them again. They never explained how to operate and maintain solar panels. I tried to contact but no response.This company seems to be an unorganized small business. This applied from the office staff all the way to the owner.. read more

I highly recommend this company. My system was installed late August. I worked with the General Manager Aaron Imamura, who was very knowledgeable, honest and patient. He was always available whenever I had questions. What I appreciated the most was unlike other companies, he did not pressure me to make a decision. He presented all my options and the rest was up to me. The whole process from beginning to end was easy and painless. I am so glad I made this decision. The installation crew were efficient and fast and the installation only took a day and a half! I have been saving money on my electrical bills ever since. Contact Aaron at: (951) 204-4341. You won't regret it. Tell him Valinda sent you read more

By far the most professional solar company out of the 3 bids we got. We were able to choose which option fit us best and the installation team did a great job. So far in 5 months we have had a zero electric bill WOW!!!!! Thanks for treating us like real people, I have referred already 4 people. read more
