Their combined installations exceeding 10MW cover commercial solar and battery storage for sectors including farming, cold storage, freight, education, multi-family housing, and faith-based organizations, to name a few.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 23, 2025 — A company recognized since 1998 as one of Southern California and Michigan’s most seasoned residential and commercial solar and battery installers, and a repeated winner of the San Diego Union Tribune Readers Poll in the “Best Solar Company” category, recently wrapped up a record-breaking year for its commercial solar division.
While the scale of these installations was notable, equally significant was that most included energy storage systems, enabling commercial clients to save more on costs and protect their operations during power outages. The broad range of businesses represented in the total is also striking, showcasing how diverse industries are adopting solar and battery storage solutions.
Stellar Solar Commercial CEO Kent Harle expanded on the importance of this diversity: “As the commercial solar industry grows, this expansion includes new sectors recognizing how solar and energy storage can enhance their financial performance and provide unmatched protection during outages. We partner with executive leadership and facilities managers to create energy solutions tailored to each business’s unique needs.
While we take great pride in our multi-megawatt projects, we find equal satisfaction in smaller commercial jobs that boost profitability for small and medium-sized businesses. By adding batteries to nearly all our solar installations, the return on investment becomes even clearer—making solar a smart choice for most businesses. We’re proud to have been among the first commercial solar installers in the U.S. to integrate batteries and have maintained that leadership ever since.”
Stellar Solar provides no-pressure commercial and residential solar and battery quotes for homeowners and business owners looking to reduce energy costs and secure a reliable power supply. Commercial solar quotes are also available for businesses, nonprofits, schools, and faith-based organizations.
