    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    On 5/27/2022, for a price of $15,840.00, my wife and I signed an agreement with Stellar Solar to install 10 additional solar panels adjacent to the ********************** 2014.On 6/1/2022 a person employed or contracted by Stellar Solar visited our home to take measurements and pictures in conjuction with the installation process.On 6/14/2022 my wife and I approved a design document created and provided by Stellar Solar that showed the new panels to be installed immediately adjacent to the panels installed in 2014. In the General Notes, third bullet down, it is correctly stated that The rafters are 4 X 10 and 72 on center. Attachment 1 On 7/5/2022 the 10 additional panels were installed.Three or so days after the installation I happened to see a drone video taken of the neighboring house that had just been listed for sale. The video clearly showed that there was an approximately five-foot space between the four new panels on the west side of the roof and the panels installed in 2014. Attachment 2 As a result of the five-foot space the four panels come into the shade pattern of the King **** tree on the west side of the house sooner and longer then if the panels had been installed as illustrated in the approved design document. Thus, the production of the four panels will be less than it would have been if the four panels had been installed in accordance with the approved design document.Stellar Solar has not provided any explanation for why the five-foot gap was necessary nor offered any financial compensation for the lost productivity of the four panels.

    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. *********************** was particularly helpful throughout the experience!
