Powering Homes for Over 22 Years.
Pell Solar is a family-owned solar company serving Southern California and Idaho. We install solar panels, Tesla Powerwall batteries, Enphase systems, and electrical panels -- and we stand behind every job we do.
Our Story
Pell Solar started in 2003 with a simple idea: give homeowners an honest, no-pressure way to go solar. Over two decades later, that hasn't changed. We're still family-owned, still hands-on with every project, and still treating every home like it's our own.
We've grown from a small operation in Southern California to serving homeowners across the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino, Riverside, and the Boise metro area in Idaho. But what we're most proud of is this: 90% of our business comes from referrals. Our customers send us their family, their neighbors, and their coworkers -- because they know we'll take care of them the same way we took care of the person who referred them.
We've been a Tesla Certified Installer for years and have partnered with Enphase for over 15 years. We work with most major solar panel brands and select the best equipment for each home based on roof layout, energy usage, and budget -- not based on what earns us the biggest margin.
Honest Solar. Real Savings.
No Runaround.
To give every homeowner a clear, honest path to energy independence -- with the right system, the right price, and a team that stands behind the work long after the install is done. We don't sell what you don't need, and we don't disappear when the job is finished.
Integrity
Honest pricing, honest communication, every time.
Quality
Premium equipment and professional installations.
Accountability
We're here before, during, and after your install.
What We Do
From your first phone call to the day your system goes live, we manage the entire process so you don't have to.
Solar Panel Installation
Custom-designed systems for every home. We use lidar scans to map your roof's exact dimensions, pitch, shading, and orientation -- then build a system sized to eliminate your electric bill.
Battery Storage
Tesla Powerwall 3 and Enphase battery systems. We program your batteries to discharge during Edison's peak hours (4-9 PM) so you get the most out of every kilowatt-hour your panels produce.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
If your home's electrical panel needs upgrading to support a solar or battery system, we handle it. No need to hire a separate electrician -- it's all part of the job.
Service and Maintenance
We don't disappear after the install. If your system needs service, troubleshooting, or maintenance down the road, our team is here to help.
Roof Evaluation
Before any installation, we evaluate your roof's condition. If we see potential issues, we'll let you know so you can address them before we move forward. We've worked with the same trusted roofing contractor for over 20 years to make the process seamless when roof work is needed.
Permitting and Inspections
We handle all permits, utility paperwork, HOA coordination, and inspections. You sign, we do the rest. From county permits to Edison interconnection, we manage the entire process.
Why Homeowners Choose Pell Solar
It's not just what we install -- it's how we do it.
Hands-On From Start to Finish
We manage every project directly -- from the initial consultation and system design through permitting, installation, and activation. You always have a direct line to the people overseeing your job. One company, one point of contact, no runaround.
Tesla Certified Installer
We're certified by Tesla to install Powerwall 3, Tesla Solar Inverters, and Tesla Wall Connectors. This means direct access to Tesla equipment and installation standards backed by Tesla's own training program.
15+ Year Enphase Partnership
We've been installing Enphase microinverters and battery systems for over 15 years. When it comes to Enphase, we've seen every generation of their products and know the technology inside and out.
Lidar-Based System Design
We use lidar scans to capture the exact details of your roof -- pitch, dimensions, shading from trees, orientation to the sun. This means your system is designed with real data, not guesswork. It's one of the reasons our systems consistently perform as promised.
No-Pressure, Honest Approach
We don't use high-pressure sales tactics. We give you the information, show you the numbers, and let you decide. That approach is why 90% of our customers come from referrals -- people trust us enough to send their friends and family.
Custom System for Every Home
We don't sell cookie-cutter packages. Every system is designed around your specific roof, your electricity usage, your goals, and your budget. We build what's right for you, not what's easiest for us.
Our Process
From your first call to the day your system goes live, we handle everything.
Free Consultation
We review your electricity usage, evaluate your roof, and talk through your goals. No obligation, no pressure.
Custom Design
Using lidar data and your energy profile, we design a system tailored specifically to your home and usage patterns.
Permits and Paperwork
We handle every permit, utility filing, and HOA approval. You don't have to call anyone or fill out a single form.
Installation
Our team coordinates your installation -- typically completed in one day. Professional, clean, and done right the first time.
Activation
Once inspections pass and Edison gives the green light, we turn on your system and you start saving immediately.
