The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 27 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

    Do not get this system if you live in The high desert. No follow up with system. No call backs. Stick with option one solar instead

    UPDATE MAY 21, 2025: The owner, Josh Pellerin has replied below with a tone deaf response about the company being solar as though they were never Pell Air. Pell Air (now Pell Solar) were one and the same years ago though they may be different now. This is why he is referenced as the owner of both companies. Pellerin's lack of accountability and smugness - which is referenced in my original review - still ring's true today. I'm giving a one star rating because I am unable to give zero, however, that is my true rating. Pell Air's owner, Josh, is the rudest and most unprofessional individual I ha

    My wife and I had our solar panels installed by this company in the spring of 2024. From day one we have had terrible experiences with this company. It has taken nearly a year to get the panels working properly. On top of all that, we have been treated with terrible disrespect by the owner of the company. Please go with a well-established operation. We have lost dozens of hours and thousands of dollars trying to get these panels fixed and working properly.

    Pell Solar installed my solar panels, battery pack, and upgraded my electrical panel about 10 months ago. I am very happy with the company’s service. Very professional. Explained the whole process, found financing, and the installation went smoothly. My panels and battery operate just as expected. I definitely recommend Pell Solar to anyone looking for solar energy.

    I purchased my solar from them back in 2021. The process from initial communication to installation was very smooth and engaging. They were very responsive. Josh was very professional and knowledgeable and had answers to all questions. I know it's been years but up until now, they are still very responsive to all my questions regarding my panels. They are still very helpful and offer advice. I spoke with Josh yesterday and he still remembers me and my home. It's a great and very reliable company.

    The installation men were very professional and efficient in installing the battery for my solar. The work was completed and the area's were cleaned up! I am extremely satisfied with the workers and the installation of my solar battery. Tyrone Tarvin

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Warranty

    “full installation, and a 25-year warranty. Solar Shield For homes with SCE…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, 24/7 availability, family owned, licensed and licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It posts on YouTube and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
