Stellar Solar Voted Best Solar Panel Company by The San Diego Union Tribune

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Stellar Solar, one of California's leading commercial and residential solar integrators since 1998, has been voted Best Solar Panel Company by The San Diego Union Tribune and its website, http://www.signonsandiego.com.

The award comes in the middle of a record-breaking year for the customer-focused solar provider, on pace to install six megawatts of residential and commercial solar in 2011. The company has also recently opened the first retail solar store in San Diego County in the Clairemont area of San Diego.

"Stellar Solar has always put our customers first and gone out of our way to make sure they have the best possible experience before, during, and after their solar installation," said Kent Harle, CEO of Stellar Solar. He added, "It's nice to be recognized as the best at what we do in San Diego. I think every business strives towards that goal."

Michael Powers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Stellar Solar, added, "Besides our design and installation expertise and communication with customers during that process, we try to take the high road with our marketing and promotion of solar. Our marketing is more educational and informative than some of the high-pressure, misleading campaigns that sometimes appear as solar marketing. Our team is trained to present several scenarios for home and business owners to go solar. It's a no-pressure pitch that home and business owners have responded to. That, combined with our buying power and relationships with the top solar manufacturers, enables us to provide the lowest price, highest efficiency solar available. People also respond to the fact that we walk the talk with our solar-powered Nissan Leaf electric car."

Stellar Solar offers free solar site evaluations to home and business owners throughout San Diego County.
