Sunwell Solar: Rooted in San Diego

Sunwell Solar Company is a small, licensed, and locally operated solar contractor based in San Diego. Founded by best friends (and lifelong teammates) Jess and Ben, the company was built on a shared belief: solar customers deserve honest answers, high-quality work, and one-on-one attention from the people doing the job, not from a call center or third-party crew.

With two decades of solar experience, Jess and Ben personally handle every step of the process, from the initial layout to the final inspection. You won’t get passed off to a salesperson, and you’ll never wonder who’s showing up to your house. Whether you need a brand-new solar system or need panels temporarily removed for roof work, you’ll get expert service and clear communication every time.

The Sunwell Solar Mission: Local Solar, Done Right

Our mission is simple:

  • We provide high-quality solar systems with no gimmicks, no subcontractors, and no upsells. 
  • We seek to generate good energy for all San Diego families by bringing traditional business values to modern tech. 
  • We do the job right the first time with the best materials, because when you do the work yourself, every detail matters.

Small Business Values in a High-Tech Industry

What sets Sunwell Solar apart from other solar companies is simple: we still believe in doing business the right way every time.

Our Licensed Solar Contractors

Jess and Ben have known each other since sixth grade, and after decades of separate paths, they’ve come full circle to run Sunwell Solar together. They’re opposites in many ways, but their balance is what makes the company work so well. Together, they bring precision and pride to every project.

Pete B.

Overall a great experience. The install of the panels and the IQ combiner box looks as if they were part of the house. The enphase app is user friendly. I highly recommend Sunwell Solar Company.

D. K.

Responsive communication. Easy to work with. Many years of knowledge and experience in the solar industry. Professional installation. Highly recommended.

Christopher B.

The Sunwell Solar team did an amazing job setting up our home solar system. Friendly, courteous, and professional at every step from the initial site survey, to planning, and install. Clear and prompt communication throughout and addressed all of our concerns. We participated in the Solar Equity Program which required a lot of extra paperwork and forms and Sunwell was very organized and made it a breeze. We had an 18 panel system installed with a 225A main service panel upgrade. 5/5 amazing service! Will be using this company again in the future when we install a home battery backup and electric car charger.
