Kyle and Tate did a super job repairing my solar inverter. Kyle was very thorough explaining what was done and showed me how to check to see if my system was functioning properly. Gerald B read more

I am not the original owner, but purchased a house that has a 3 and 2 year old solar system(s) installed by MSS. Don't have or won't give an "Owner's Manual", don't/won't give warranty details, inconsistent responses and incorrect technical responses, and gets "annoyed" by the multiple emails you send because they don't actually answer the questions in your email. Getting the solar switched to my accounts went pretty smoothly as well as initial conversations and questions. I am an engineer, so I like to understand how things work. In my defense I asked for an "owner's manual" that may explain the specific installation - which would have saved a ton of the conversation. I also asked why the two apps (Enphase vs Solark) shows over a 30% difference in production, which the sales person shared generic explanation several items such as line loss and conversion loss, etc. but nothing specific. The solar panels are on my roof and the "line" is like 20 feet to my basement and its not conversion lost because the Ephase app reports in AC and goes into the AC side of Solark. Most solar people I know are very in tune with their electrical production numbers, so I would think this level of discrepancy would be clearly understood. It was things like this that made me not really trust MSS. Then the leaks started happening. Leaks for 2 years in 2 different rooms, every time there was a melt. At first I thought maybe it was ice dams, but it even occurred in the winter when there was no ice build up yet. I asked if there was any warranty or what it was, but never got an answer..instead I got like 6 emails and quotes for a water leak test. Again - MSS - I only experienced leaks in the winter. Not during rain...so not sure what a water leak test would achieve. All I asked of MSS was what was their warranty (if any, since I am the 2nd owner), as I did not want to void any warranty. All I got in response was another suggestion for a $450 water test for leaks (once the weather was warm enough) - however, the leaks only happen during the winter melt and not during the summer rain. I ended up paying thousands to a different contractor to look into my leaks and even had them remove the ceiling of my room with the leaks. Ironically, the contractor happens to do work with MSS. They opened the ceiling up and found what they told me was obvious evidence that the Solar panels were causing problems. So I reached out to MSS and explained to them the "findings" and let them know that I had paid to open my ceiling up and asking if they would like to send a supervisor over to take a look. The response was really weird: No response for like 3 days, then I get an email or text saying that an appointment for a leak test has been scheduled. Again..it doesn't leak when it rains, only in the cold. then a few days later I get an email from some middle management guy. He didn't show any empathy nor did he even discuss my offer to come take a look. Instead - apparently he is a keyboard warrior and is able to do a thorough analysis and came to the conclusion that the leaking was due to pre-existing conditions because the unsecured wood blocking and rusty bolts were not "MSS standard operating procedures". This guy is the first trades person I have ever met who prefers to assess from a computer instead in person. He than questioned why I insist that MSS did an improper installation since my house rafters were 24" on center. I pointed out to him, that my rafters are actually 16" on center, and had he come and take a look, it would be pretty obvious. Also, the set diagrams that MSS drew up, shows over 17 Flashfoot2 installed not on the rafters. Again, he responded that those diagrams are merely suggestions and incorrect - which is interesting and I might have to check with my local building permit office. He stated that this will be the end of communications unless I want to pay for them to investigate...again I'm flying blind since they won't send me what the warranty is. And so I responded with a thank you and asked if I can at least get the warranty information if any...to find out I have been blocked. Finally got an email saying my warranty for installation is only 3 years and expired. I presented evidence that the contractor I paid for (who by the way actually works with MSS...lol) told me. I'm clearly not in a money grab, being that I've already paid thousands to investigate the leaks myself...because frankly even having a civil conversation with MSS is a chore. I just always like to give a company a chance to do the right thing. read more

I'd been looking forward to going solar for years and took a fair amount of time vetting companies before going with Michigan Solar Solutions. That was a mistake. I can say their install crew does great work. Even the inspectors said as much based on their history reviewing their jobs. Sadly, the back office is the exact opposite and that dysfunction has made the whole experience very frustrating. The highlight of the failure is that a half dozen panels were installed in the wrong place due to a miscommunication between the teams, and I'm being charged just shy of $1,000 to fix it. Made worse, I can't actually get a response about the plan to fix it. Eventually I'll need to reach out to their service team to get a response of any kind, which also happened during the project. That project has stretched on for over six months and has no end in sight. At no point was the dysfunction more visible than when I was accidentally included on a thread of emails where the sales team was complaining about customers and insisting that they shouldn't be part of the planning & design process. That lack of a client service attitude was felt in many of my interactions with the team (tried to talk me out of fixing the bad panel placement, is charging me to fix their mistake, refused for weeks to make a change to the plan that would improve performance because it wasn't the original plan, replies can take days if they happen at all, and more I've probably forgotten). I already steer co-workers and friends away from Michigan Solar Solutions, some of which had them on their short list for projects similar to mine. Having no other experience I have no one else to suggest, but if I was to do it again I'd pick someone else and recommend the same to you. read more

I have had a great experience overall with Michigan Solar Solutions. Recently we had a power outage which caused some blown fuses and the system needed service to get it back up and running. Drew and Blair came out this morning to fix it, all good now! :) read more

Michigan Solar Solutions put solar on my home and I haven't paid an electric bill since. I was happy that what they promised, they delivered. They gave me a complete proposal telling me what equipment they were installing, how much it would cost, how it would effect my electric bill and when I could expect a payback. Their installers were friendly and professional. They made the whole process very easy and even gave me the necessary tax documents to get my 30% tax credit. I was so impressed, I joined the company! read more

I started out with another company to install a roof-top solar system. After bugging them for four months, they had the decency to refer me to Michigan Solar Solutions. I couldn't believe the turnabout - MSS worked over the weekend to get the initial approval with my electric utility and pushed through the permit process with my city. The installation with 40 panels was completed in two days with a crew that set a new standard for respectfulness and efficient workmanship. Mark Hagerty, the president of MSS, personally explained the whole process, how quickly the system would pay for itself, and what to expect with future electrical bills. They use components manufactured in the U.S. and yet can provide a turnkey system that has an excellent return on investment. We couldn't be happier with the results. read more
