Stellar Solar Commercial Celebrates Record Year in 2025

In an impressive display of growth and dedication, Stellar Solar Commercial has wrapped up 2025 by achieving a record number of solar energy installations in both Southern California and Michigan. This company, which has been a prominent player in the solar and battery installation market since 1998, successfully completed installations totaling over 10 megawatts (MW) across various sectors. These installations included commercial solar and energy storage systems for a diverse array of clients, ranging from farms and cold storage facilities to educational institutions, multi-family residences, and faith-based organizations.

Significant Milestones

The standout achievement for Stellar Solar this year was their 4MW installation at the Lomo Cold Storage facility in Live Oak, California. Not only did the sheer volume of these installations mark a significant milestone, but the inclusion of energy storage solutions greatly enhanced their value. By integrating battery systems, customers can not only save on energy costs but also ensure operational continuity during power outages—a feature growing in importance amidst increasing climate-driven disruptions.

Stellar Solar Commercial's CEO, Kent Harle, emphasized the critical role of industry diversity in their success. “As the commercial solar sector expands, more businesses across numerous industries are recognizing the financial benefits of solar energy and storage solutions. Our approach involves working closely with executive management and facility managers to develop customized energy strategies that cater to their specific needs,” he explained.

The company takes great pride in both its large multi-megawatt installations and its commitment to enhancing profitability for smaller enterprises through solar solutions. With the inclusion of battery storage in nearly all their projects, the return on investment becomes more evident, making solar an increasingly appealing option for a multitude of businesses. Harle remarked on their pioneering role in the commercial sector: “We are proud to be among the first in the country to integrate battery systems into our solar installations, cementing our leadership in this space.”

The Importance of Accessibility in Solar Energy

In addition to catering to larger entities, Stellar Solar offers no-pressure consultations for both commercial and residential customers who are interested in reducing their energy expenditures through solar power and battery storage. They provide quotes for commercial solar solutions tailored to businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and faith organizations, extending their reach and making sustainable energy more accessible.
