We are very proud to have been a part of the Ford Motor Company press launch and test drive of their new Focus Electric. We were asked to bring our 2kW Mobile Solar Station to the event by Ford and SunPower to give an example of a residential solar system that a typical home could add with their purchase of the Focus Electric to enable the vehicle to be powered in part by solar and driving the cost of operation down even further. Some scenes from the event below:
Over 50 vehicles showed up for the Stellar Solar San Diego meetup BBQ, including 5 BMW ActiveEs, 2 Fisker Karmas, a Tesla Roadster, several Zero Motorcycles, and many other custom EVs. Peder Norby gave a great presentation on solar energy and electric vehicles. Peder powers his BMW Mini E with clean energy generated from solar panels installed on his home and is a great example how one can reduce their dependency on foreign oil while taking control of their energy bill at the same time.

Our February dinner seminar was held at the SDG&E Innovation Center that is next door to our solar showroom in Clairemont. The huge turnout came to hear Michael Powers from Stellar Solar and Stellar customer Peder Norby talk about residential solar and electric vehicles. Sammy’s Woodfired provided the delicious food.

Stellar Solar, one of California’s leading commercial solar and residential solar installers since 1998, is now offering a residential solar lease and solar financing for homeowners in San Diego County who want to go solar for $0 down. Solar leases and solar financing have never been offered by a manufacturer with the financial stability of SunPower — or combined with the planet’s most powerful solar panels.
You can now go solar with $0 down and low monthly payments.
“These new options are perfect for homeowners who are looking for an alternative to the upfront costs of purchasing solar,” said Michael Powers, VP of Sales and Marketing at Stellar Solar. “The SunPower Lease offers a no-money-down solution that can reduce or eliminate your existing electric bill completely. For about what you’re paying to SDG&E every month, you can go solar and pay SDG&E little or nothing at all. It’s like trading in your old power bill for a new solar power bill.” He added, “The SunPower financing or loan program is also a very viable option for homeowners as it enables them to also go solar for no money down and still gain all the financial benefits of actually owning their systems.”
Stellar Solar has been installing SunPower solar panels since 2001 and find them to be a favorite among many solar customers because of superior appearance, design and quality. Many San Diego homeowners also prefer to buy their solar panels from an American company and SunPower is based in Silicon Valley.

A broad range of new solar installations across the state of California has enabled Stellar Solar to post the best Q1 figures in its 12-year history.
Developments for U.S. Foodservice, Salk Institute and the Vandenberg Air Force have been complemented by strong residential sales, and going into the second quarter Stellar has already built up a 2.5MW order backlog.
“We are enthusiastic about this strong start and feel it’s a good indicator for solar and the economy in 2011,” said Michael Powers, Stellar’s vice president of sales and marketing.
“These projects also highlight our standing as a significant player in the commercial solar space. All three are high-profile installations are a testament to our highly-experienced team of design and installation professionals,” added Stellar’s founder and president, Kent Harle.
