My journey on getting solar for my home started a little over a year ago. I started working with another solar company but always felt pushed and almost like if they first wanted to get all my information on how much I pay not so that they can save me as much as possible, but more to see how much they could squeeze out of me but still pay a little under what I was paying for electricity.
LA County Fair 2015 I saw the Pell Solar booth, I walked up to their staff and they sat me down with Aaron. I knew I needed a big system and speaking to him for only a couple minutes I realized how educated he was with not only knowledge of the panels but the whole Solar Industry. He gave me his card and we arraigned to talk later.
When we spoke he helped me understand the differences and benefits from Buying, PPAs, and a Lease. Instead of making the decision for me and trying to make me sign a paper as soon as possible. He educated me, put all the scenarios in front of me and then educated me more on the difference it can make to do your homework before going solar. I of coarse really appreciated that, I wanted to make sure I made the right decision for my family and was hungry for a lot of answers. Aaron filled that need and even game me more information that helped me.
This is where I know that Pell Solar was the right company for me, because now that I decided to move forward with them there were 1,000 other problems that were going to happen and if it was not for them going the extra mile I know for a fact I would not have Solar Panels on my roof right now.
Long story short, turns out the car port that was on the rear part of my property was not permitted. My property actually had 2 parcel numbers and was really 2 properties and since the separate car port was on a different property the City Would never permit connecting utilities across property lines. That and a lot of technicalities by the City made this a very difficult Install, in fact at this point I thought Aaron and Pell Solar were gonna bail on me, they should have. I almost gave up.
I knew the only way I was going to get Solar now was to install on the roof of my home. I have 32 palm trees and like another 5 large trees around the west and south west part of my house. Aaron and his team did more than a couple of Sun studies on my very complicated roof and after doing the math they were able to determine that If I were to trim 2 trees and lose 1 palm tree and kept about another 10 palm trees nice and trimmed I could knock out 100% of my bill. I know it wasn't easy and that they did not have to go trough all that trouble, but thanks to them I now save from $300-$400 on my electric bill.
I know sometimes we can be skeptical, and maybe it sounds too good to be true. But do the homework, and inform yourself. In the end it really is all worth it. I got quotes from 4 companies and don't be afraid about a lease, do the math and consider the pros and cons about both buying and leasing. In my case a lease meant a considerably lower monthly payment.
Going Solar is the smart thing to do you really cant lose. Your already losing by doing nothing, Paying increasingly more to the Utility company thats losing already. So you cant lose going solar. Now its a matter of choosing the right solar company and saving an extra 20% or choosing the wrong solar company and not saving that extra 20%.
After the install I have kept good communication with Aaron and he is making sure we are happy with our system. He came over and explained 100 other things that help us make sure we are managing our electricity usage. Again the man knows a lot about how this whole Industry works. We are really grateful for everything Pell Solar has done to help us, we owe them everything.
I will try to include a picture with what my usage looks like now. It says $5 for my next bill but im sure even that will be wiped out. Also Pell Solar does Heating and Air for your AC / Furnace that will probably the next thing I will be calling them for.
