Stellar Solar

I just had a battery back up install installed to my existing system that stellar solar put in the insulation guys were absolutely terrific Brandon and Uly we’re professional and did a great job. It’s really nice to see customer service at this level. That’s why I went back to stellar solar after installing my panels for the battery.

After exploring several solar companies, I ultimately chose @Stellarsolar for my installation—and I’m really glad I did. The system has been performing exceptionally well, and I’m very happy with the results, as shown below. If you’re considering solar for your home, I highly recommend reaching out to Kenny Rutherford @Stellarsolar 858-500-6078.

I had my system installed a couple of years ago, and the experience from start to finish was excellent. No upselling, no pressure—just honest advice and a team that clearly knows what they’re doing. What really stood out was the installation crew. They took their time to make everything look clean and well thought out, not just functional. You can tell they take pride in their work, which is pretty rare these days. A couple of years in now, and everything is still running perfectly. Solid company, great people, and a really smooth experience overall.

I had solar panels installed by Stellar Solar over 6 years ago. The service has been great and I am very happy with my purchase. They did an amazing job with the install. They were professional and the install was quick. I’ve had no problems with the system and would highly recommend Stellar Solar to anyone who is looking to install solar panels or solar products.

Stellar Solar just finished adding additional solar panels along with a Tesla battery system to our existing solar system. The whole process, starting with Johnny Esposito who was our initial contact, through the installation with Eduardo Naranjo and his crew (not to mention everyone else we dealt with at Stellar) has been a fantastic experience. The design process was thorough, as they had to incorporate the new system into our existing system based on our projected needs. And when the installation took place, their crew was polite, considerate and professional throughout the whole process. So needless to say, we’re extremely pleased with our experience, and I would certainly recommend them to anyone who is considering going solar.

Stellar Solar has been a dream! They came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. From the outset, they explained our options and helped us plan for future needs as well. Their knowledge, experience, care and prices were unsurpassed. The whole process took less time and less money than we expected, as they navigated through all the bureaucracy and got our permits fairly quickly. We've had their product for years: no problems, works great, and saves us thousands of dollars! Any time we needed to reach out to them, they've been highly responsive and treated us like family. We really couldn't ask for anything more. I would say they were the most professional, efficient and caring companies I've ever had the pleasure to patronize. I have recommended them to friends and neighbors, and I'll certainly use them for my next house!

Brandon Sullivan and his assistant did an awesome job of completing our solar installation on our condominium in Solana Beach !!!

Dylan was did an excellent job for getting Solar for me. From day one he was available and communicated with me on every step of the way. He was so helpful, supportive and professional. I don’t know too much about where to go and how to even start, but he made it so easy that I didn’t even know when all the inspections and everything was done. He called constantly to educate me and to tell me what is going on and when things will be done. I am so grateful to have him as my consultant and helper. Thank you so much Dylan, I give you a million stars for your excellent job well done. You’re the best and please continue to do amazing work.

Trent Batchelder and his teammates, Damon & Sergio, installed a couple if extra solar panels for me this past Friday. They did a great job and I appreciate their efforts! Trent arrived early to accommodate my schedule and gave me a quick, but thorough, explanation of what they would be doing. True to his word, the work was done as expected. The team was focused on the work and completed the job accurately and efficiently. They cleaned up, leaving no signs of having been here! Thank you for a job well done!

My thanks to Trent and his teammates, Damon & Sergio, for doing such a great job installing my solar panels on Friday, February 13th! Trent arrived early to accommodate my schedule He clearly explained what the process would be then he and his team began their work without any delays. They were laser focused on getting the work done right and doing it in a timely manner. They also did a terrific job of cleaning up after themselves. I am very appreciative of their good work and the respect rhe showed me and my home.

From the start, Kenny and his crew did an outstanding job with planning and installing the entire system. Communication was clear and professional throughout, and the price was very reasonable. They also worked well with my roofer. Highest recommendation!

I used Stellar Solar back in April 2025 and had an excellent experience! The customer service from Connor and his team was outstanding. They delivered everything on budget and on schedule, and answered all my questions throughout the process. I was very happy with their service—so much so that I even referred a friend who had an equally great experience. Highly recommend Stellar Solar to anyone considering solar!

We used Stellar Solar to install our system several years ago and it has been going strong ever since. The communication was great throughout the process and the recommended exactly the right number of panels for out needs. Our true up is typically around $25.

We had a great experience with Stellar Solar. Our sales rep Johnny was very helpful and the whole team did a great job. They not only helped us take advantage of the federal tax credit, but helped us with a local battery rebate too. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to go solar!

Beware of doing business with these guys. They did a good job of installing, but when needing help on errors in the system, they won't give you any attention. My system hasn't worked for a week, I've called multiple times, and haven't had any communication back. Unfortunate considering I've spent over $80,000...

I began consulting with solar companies in the San Diego area after firmly committing in a solar system installation at my house. After speaking with sales consultants of three other solar companies, no one seemed convincing in committing to their contract offering. I then saw a video advertisement of Bill Walton endorsing Stellar Solar. I decided to call their office and was directed to Marc Cirelli. I was impressed with his informative, well-spoken style and the options available to me. I could sense a genuine honesty of everything he was explaining. I am a retired law enforcement officer and developed that keen sense of feeling when someone is being genuine. Marc Cirelli projected that sense of confidence in their product and company. My solar installation has recently been complete and every member of their team produce outstanding workmanship and unparallel professionalism. Stellar Solar has remained responsive to any issue or question I have had after installation. Their courteous nature is still noticeable in every contact. Art Reynaga

Getting solar was the best investment EVER! It has already saved us so much money, and the entire process couldn’t have been smoother. Stellar Solar made everything super easy to understand, from start to finish. Erin was incredibly informative—she explained everything clearly and was always available to answer our questions. The installation process was quick and seamless, and we were constantly kept in the loop with updates, which we really appreciated. Plus, the tax credit is a huge bonus. We’re so glad that we made the switch—HIGHLY recommend Stellar Solar to anyone who is thinking about going solar!

We are super happy with our solar system from Stellar Solar. We have had our system for over a year, pay no electric bill and have a credit on our account. The 30% tax rebate on our 2024 taxes saved a lot too. We have basically replaced our electric bill with the solar payment and we feel like this has also increased the value of our home. It’s a win-win! Two of our sons have also installed Stellar solar on their homes and are happy with the results too. Fully recommended and work with Erin if you can…she’s amazing!

Getting solar at my property was such a great decision and Stellar Solar made the process easy. From the initial quote being significantly cheaper than other competitors, to conducting the install when they said they would and following up after the process was smooth. I save hundreds a year by having solar and would encourage all California homeowners to do the same. Great experience with Stellar Solar, highly recommend.

After researching several solar companies, I decided to go with Stellar Solar—and I’m really glad I did. Their reputation for quality and service is well-deserved. The entire process was clear, well-communicated, and free of pressure. The system design they recommended was tailored to my energy needs, and they explained everything thoroughly, from panel placement to expected output and savings. The installation team was professional and efficient, completing the job on schedule without any surprises. Everything was permitted, inspected, and activated without a hitch. Since going live, my system has been performing exactly as expected—if not better. I’m already seeing a major reduction in my electric bills, and I love being more energy independent. Stellar Solar earns their name. Great team, solid follow-through, and most importantly, they deliver what they promise. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking to go solar.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my sincere satisfaction with the recent installation of our 10-panel solar system by Stellar Solar. With the expert guidance of solar designer Dave Gersz, we successfully completed the installation in February 2023 in Carmel Valley, San Diego. Stellar Solar's professionalism was evident throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final commissioning. The installation was executed flawlessly, and we are extremely pleased with the system's performance. I am particularly impressed with the consistent energy generation and the ease of monitoring the system's performance through the Enphase App. I would highly recommend Stellar Solar to anyone considering a solar energy installation. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Sincerely, Prasad Kota San Diego, CA

The process of solar installation was just perfect with the correct amount of panels, customer service was amazing. Just love my solar with no issues. would recommend this company to anyone.

Our Stellar team was excellent! Everybody from the installation folks to the tech who explained how to use the app was helpful and professional. Communication with our rep was also really good- and thorough. Highly recommend!

Working with Stellar was an overall positive and great experience from day 1. Compared to all the other companies we met with, Stellar was the most economical system. Throughout the entire process their communication with us was top notch. They answered all our questions and concerns. David assisted us with our project and he was great to work with. We highly recommend using Stellar to help with your solar needs

I initially went with Tesla Solar, completed all site surveys and got finance approval, but two weeks later, Tesla backed out, claiming my house wasn’t compatible with Powerwalls. I felt it was more about my project being too complex or unprofitable for them. Communication with Tesla was frustrating, and I’m not even sure if I got my deposit back. Then, I came across Stellar Solar through a YouTube ad after months of research. My sales rep, Bryan, was super responsive and advised me to wait for California’s Solar Battery Rebate program. Once that kicked in, I saved $10k on my Tesla Powerwalls. Installation was smooth—done in a day with a minor follow-up the next day. I have a 7.8 kW system with two Powerwall 3s, which work perfectly, especially with my Tesla EV. Overall, Stellar Solar has been great, and everything has worked flawlessly so far. Highly recommend!

Stellar Solar has a phenomenal team and was extremely helpful throughout the process. They first informed me of the different types of solar and storage options. Then they helped to calculate the needs of my house and pricing. The pricing was competitive and they helped me to understand the credits I could get on my taxes with this addition to my home. The installation went smooth and the panels look great on my roof. The system they install is monitored by an app and Stellar Solar walked me through the functionality and how to optimize the benefit with my power provider. I highly recommend Stellar Solar if you are exploring Solar as an addition to your residence or business.

I recently had Stellar Solar complete a solar installation on my roof, consisting of 13 panels. I am extremely pleased with the entire experience and wanted to share my positive feedback. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the Stellar Solar team exhibited professionalism, expertise, and dedication. The project was completed in just three days, which included running conduit through the interior walls. They did a fantastic job, making minimal cuts into the drywall and ensuring everything was properly repaired afterward. The crew was courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. They kept to the schedule and budget, which I greatly appreciated. The city inspection passed on the first go, a testament to the high quality of their work. The end result is a clean, well-functioning solar setup that blends seamlessly with my home. I highly recommend Stellar Solar for anyone considering solar installation. Their workmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly "stellar." Five stars all the way!

Stellar Solar was an excellent company to work with to install our solar panels. From start to finish, Stellar Solar was knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with. Stellar Solar was able to offer us the best pricing out there and I was very pleased with their amazing customer service. Connor’s team was friendly and communicative and they installed the panels so quickly. They definitely are the best of the best out there for solar panel installation. I would highly recommend Stellar Solar to anyone who is looking to get solar panels. I’ve referred Stellar Solar to all of my friends and family and I’ve only heard great feedback from them. They truly are a great company to work with and even after your panels are installed, they’ve provided excellent after care service and have answered any questions I have regarding my panels. The panels are a great investment especially with the rising rates of SDG&E and I am so glad I chose Stellar Solar to help me with the process.

I had a fantastic experience with Stellar Solar. Their entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. The installation process was smooth, and my energy bills have significantly decreased. Erin was my representative and she was very communicative and made the whole process seamless. We recently moved and definitely will go with them again when we're ready for another system. I highly recommend Stella Solar for their excellent service and quality products!

After considering many solar companies, I hired @stellarsolar to install my solar panels. My panels are working great and I couldn’t be happier with the performance as you can see below. If you are looking for solar on your home,I highly recommend Kenny Rutherford from @stellarsolar

After contemplating for quite some time, I decided to add solar panels to my home. I spoke with friends that had solar, researched several different companies, and read hundreds of reviews. I ultimately went with Stellar Solar, and I am incredibly glad that I did. One personal friend also used Stellar Solar, and this helped me in my decision making process. Seeing how satisfied they were and seeing first hand the job Stellar did for them, made me very comfortable with my choice. My own personal experience has been better than I ever anticipated, even with the great reviews and a personal recommendation. From the start, Stellar was responsive without being pushy, informative, and supportive with any issues I encountered. Stellar helped me navigate the financing and assisted with getting everything worked out. In order to put on the solar panels, we had to re-roof our house. When an issue arose with the roofing company, and I could not achieve resolution with their management, Stellar stepped in and handled the problem swiftly. Since completing the job, we had questions about installing an electric vehicle charger, receiving conflicting information from the charger installation electrician. One call to Stellar, 2 months after our job was completed, and they were right there to help us get it straightened out.. As far as installation, as soon as the financing was in order, our installation was completed within 3 weeks, INCLUDING re-roofing the house. Another company I consulted with had said it would be a *minimum* of 6-8 months just to get the permits done. The crew that installed the panels were friendly, polite, very efficient, cleaned up very well after they were finished, and overall, did an amazing job. Based on my experience, and the experience of a friend who also used this company as well, I HIGHLY recommend Stellar Solar. Marc Cirelli was particularly helpful throughout the process!

Thrilled with my experience with Stellar Solar!

This is our second house where we've used Stellar Solar. Both experiences have been great! We did our due diligence and considered several companies before we selected someone. Each time Stellar had the best pricing and process. We worked with Erin Presley and she was by far the clearest and easiest to work with out of all the companies. The installation team was also amazing - friendly, professional, and thorough. Highly recommend!

Stellar Solar came highly recommended by our neighbors. We interviewed other Solar companies, but Stellar were so genuine and had our best interests at heart the whole time. They only quoted for what we needed and did not try to upsell. We felt from the outset that we were going to get the best system at the right price. From quotation to survey to installation the process was smooth and easy. Communication was excellent and they were available to answer any questions quickly. The installer did an amazing job and went out of their way to make the system as unobtrusive as possible. The professionalism shone through. We are very pleased with the system and we know Stellar has our backs.

All facets of Stellar Solar's operation (sales, coordination, installation, and app/system assistance) were excellent. The sales folks are no-pressure, what's-best-for-your-situation type people. We have been operational for just over a year and we are very happy with the system. We received an overproduction check from SDG&E on our first annual true-up. We installed Q Cells [Q.PEAK DUO 400-DC (BLK)] panels and a Tesla Powerwall+, Gateway, and monitoring system. The Tesla app works great. We like having complete control over how much energy we are storing in the battery and how much we send off to the grid. Stellar is truly a great group to work with.

Three years ago we bought an electric car and we knew we needed to go solar one day. A friend had referred us to Stellar Solar. When the day came to move forward to get solar we communicated with Erin P. She did an excellent job provided us with information. I am very happy with the installation as it looks great. I like the app as we can see how much energy is being generated. Thank you for everyone who worked on installing the solar panels to our home.

The service and communication were the best. Conner (redacted) is the way to make sure you get the best service.

If you are looking at going solar, I have been very happy with Stellar Solar. From start to finish it took four months and Stellar was professional throughout the whole process. They kept me informed each step of the way with e-mails and were very patient with all my random questions. I highly recommend them. They might not be the least expensive quote, but like the saying goes "you get what you pay for"

For our 13 wonderful new solar panels and power collection system for our Clawson MI home! We are already seeing lots of $$$$ savings on our electric bill, and we love helping the environment! Stellar Solar was extremely professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. We strongly, confidently recommend Stellar Solar for any solar power needs!

Stellar Solar was a great company to work with. We had heard from a number of coworkers and neighbors regarding how easy and great it was to work with them and Stellar Solar did not disappoint. They were very transparent, patient, and timely with their responses. They took a lot of care into making sure all of our expectations were met and questions were answered. They provided us with ample information so that we always knew where we were in the installation process and what to expect next. We’ve already recommended them to our family, friends, and coworkers.

Great experience working with Stellar Solar. Fast communication and the process was smooth and easy. Their team was on top of SDG&E to ensure our panels were switched on promptly and without delays. Highly recommend if you're on the market for solar panels!

My experience with Stellar Solar was excellent from the initial consultation to the final installation. The consultant knew all the information regarding the recent NEM 2.0 to 3.0 changes and was able to answer my questions. They provided clear expected timeframes on when the solar would be installed. The work was done as promised and the follow up as been excellent. I went with the company after hearing horrible stories from other solar companies and I was very happy with my choice. If I were to further modify or purchase solar again I would definitely use Stellar Solar.

Would totally recommend Stellar Solar. After our initial inquiry, we were provided with different options and ended up going with 12 panels and a Tesla Powerwall battery. Although the entire end-to-end process did take a while (about 4-5 months), the process was smooth and straight-forward, communication was great, and the installation was neat and clean. Everyone we encountered was friendly and easy to work with. They provided everything we needed from HOA approval documents to scheduling our inspection w/SDG&E. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend.

I've had my solar panels from Stellar Solar for over 2 years and we have not had one issue yet so I am very happy. The initial installation and over process also went very smoothly with great communication throughout every step. It has been a great investment with rising energy pricing. I recommended Stellar Solar to my parents and they have now had their system for over a year and are very satisfied as well (my dad LOVES to look at the app every day to see how much energy was produced).

I most highly recommend Stellar Solar! If you are going to go solar, then you should without a doubt go with Stellar Solar! About seven years ago, I decided on the wise move to have solar installed on my house (roof mount). My dad had gone with Stellar Solar a few years earlier (his was a raised ground mount) and my dad told me that I should go with Stellar Solar because they are the best. My dad’s Stellar Solar system is still going strong 11 years out. However, I always want to do my own due diligence. I researched many, many different solar companies and I came to the same conclusion as my dad; Stellar Solar would be the best company to go with. Steller Solar was very responsive, got back to me quickly with all my questions, patiently explained the process to me, efficiently and seamlessly installed my solar system and did it at an extremely competitive price. You won’t find a better solar company than Stellar Solar. Choose them and you will be very happy that you did. They are the best. Both my dad and I worked with Zac Dowell. He is fantastic. He’s friendly, informative, professional and dedicated. You can reach Zac at 619.800.1786 or zac@stellarsolar.net

I've been up and running with solar for almost a year now and the system has been working perfectly! Its nice not having to worry about what time of day it is and how much it will cost to use electricity! After researching a bunch of companies and getting a lot of personal recommendations from Friends I went with Stellar Solar. The installation was super quick, and the installation crew was extremely professional.

I just had Stellar Solar complete two projects including 2 Tesla power wall batteries and then 18 solar panels. I did this several months apart and all is done now. They did an excellent job...super professional ....very neat and clean. All works perfectly and their follow up with my questions was addressed and answered immediately. I highly recommend them for any panel or battery installation .

I want to take this opportunity to thank stellarsolar for the great system they provided me gave us peace of mind through the tropical hurricane that just hit us in SD! My 3 batteries gave me a big piece of mind that if the grid went down, I could continue operations

I had 14 solar panels (5.6 kW system)and a Tesla Powerwall+ installed on our home. From start to finish, the process was a breeze. Stellar Solar's team impressed me with their professionalism and efficiency. Their communication was spot-on throughout, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. If you're considering making the switch to solar and want a reliable company that delivers fantastic results, I wholeheartedly recommend getting a quote from Stellar Solar.
