Let me start with the positive. Installation by the Detroit-based team was neat, well-done & completed in a professional manner, which I previously posted on social media sites. However, after spending $52,804 for the installation of 43 Solar Panels in 2023 & $16,430 for three Storage Batteries in 2024, or a total of $69,304, we have not seen a beneficial decrease in our electrical expense. Our electrical expense for the first six months ending June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2025 was $1,968 & $1,242, respectively, or approximately $3,936 & $2,484 on annualized basis, which is a reduction of only $1,452. On a straight line basis, it's going to take 47 years to justify the expense of our solar system. We've been accused of using more electricity (not true; in fact, we use less electricity, since we are more energy conscious). Strawberry Solar and their product partner Enphase were responsive at first, making adjustments here and there. Now, jStrawberry Solar has gone radio-silent. Every time we reach out to Strawberry Solar, the response is "I'll look into it over the weekend" or "everything has been a bit hectic lately; I have you on my list and I'll dig into it soon". I spent my entire professional career selling banking services. You service your existing customers first. You be the judge. Don't waste your money. read more

This Detroit based crew was professional, informative and efficient. They took time to proactively educate us during our research period and explained comparative quotes with ease. In writing, the kept us informed and completed all necessary net metering paperwork and permits. They stayed true to their timetable and pricing estimate. In conjunction with the local electrician, installation was seamless and beautiful when compared to other homes I've seen. I'm pleased! read more

See all

After doing half a year of market research I decided to go with Strawberry Solar for a grid tie system, and today the power company came out and turned it on. The whole experience was super smooth, everyone was very professional and it was clear I was dealing with a very experienced team all the way. I love the tech Strawberry Solar is installing (I got Q-Cells 10th generation 400W panels with Enphase Microinverters) and I could not be happier with the whole experience! Clearly these guys know what they are doing, and are very customer oriented! Thank you Strawberry Solar! read more

Strawberry Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I will start with before the contract was signed for our $72,000 system, they were very eager to talk with me. Things have just gone down hill from there. I am not one to leave a bad review but I want other people to be aware of what happened. Before installing my system I spent a lot of time talking with the sales representative, the electrician and the owner about my unique situation. I also have a geothermal system which used to have a 30% discount meter attached to it. My average electric bill in the winter before solar was about $500. My main concern was loosing the discount meter for the geothermal system. We had agreements on the layout of the panels and the electrical before we signed the contract but on installation day everything changed. Strawberry Solars electrician called me the day of installation and told me he had "run the numbers" and he was sure that he was going to save us money by removing the discount meter. I spoke with the owner later that day to voice my concerns again. I let him know that if the system did not preform as described I was expecting them to make it right by reinstalling the discount meter. I can tell you, 2 years in to having our system that my electric bill in the winter is over $800 a month. On top of my $550 solar payments. My payments for my electric bill were calculated originally to be an average of $100. That is rarely the case. Continuing into the actual install of the system things just got worse. The owner was on site and I talked to him several times throughout the day. The original plan for my panel set up was change without our consent that day. 6 panels were moved to another location and again I was assured that they would be more efficient like that. Again, that is not the case. The 6 panels that were moved are producing on average 50kWh less a year than previously anticipated. That is 300kWh lost every year for us. I know it doesn't seem like much but at this point I need all the help I can get with my electric bill. The installers also took no consideration to the fact that I have animals that use my lawn for food. They left metal shavings in the lawn where my animals eat and the electrician left small wires and plastic debris everywhere. Again. They knew that I had animals and could easily see that they were grazing in the yard all day while they worked. Needless to say, I spent several hours searching for every metal shaving, screw and piece of trash they had left behind to protect my animals. If all that wasn't enough, my most recent interaction wasn't any better. 3 months ago I contacted the company directly to let them know I wanted to have another battery installed so I could use more of my own electricity. This had been the plan from the beginning. I informed them that I had spent the last 1 1/5 years calling, texting and emailing the contacts that I had from my original installation and sale with no response. The customer service representative on the phone was argumentative and very defensive when I was explaining the original situation. We came to an agreement that he would email me so I could send him my most current electric bills and they could help me to resolve this situation. Unfortunately, I still have not received any communication from Strawberry Solar's representative. This is the last straw for me. Others need to know what happened and I am hoping that this will prompt a response from someone at this company But at this point I am not holding to hope. read more

I can't say enough good things about Strawberry Solar. My experience seems to be nearly identical to the review by Tom F. Please read his too. Let me start by saying that a much larger, nationwide company dropped the ball 3 times before we hopped onto Energy Sage found Strawberry Solar. Strawberry Solar's knowledge and dedication was second to none. Our rep, Diane, would answer my email questions as late as 11:30 at night. It wasn't expected, but her dedication certainly was appreciated. She sealed the deal with the support of the other staff members. Kudos to her! She's gold. Our system is a bit more complex than others and required some extra time on site. The master electrician, Kenon, is now my official electrician for all future needs. Amazing guy with a fun, friendly crew: Mason, Victor and Noah. They are a great team that really felt like part of our family. We got to know them quite well over the course of several weeks. The were very professional, trustworthy and clean. They used drop cloths throughout the house and vacuumed work areas regularly. I had no qualms about leaving them alone in our house when we had to leave for appointments. They even let our dog out for us! They really went the extra mile and even pointed out/replaced old, dangerous wiring. As a bonus, they taught us so much about our new system and answered dozens of questions. They had top notch communication with the project managers at Strawberry. Other aspects of the process were great too. Setup of the ground mount and actual panels only took a few hours by the other crew. Strawberry handled pulling all township permits and communication with DTE. When it came time to commission the system, Tim and Will were excellent. They spoke with SolarEdge when necessary to tweak the setup. They gave me proper training how to use the monitoring dashboard. Sure, there were some minor bumps in the road - as one should expect when setting up a complicated system - but they sent people out immediately to resolve them. The equipment is top-notch and our production far exceeds our current consumption. This allows for future expansion. Everything runs like a top and you can't beat the SolarEdge monitoring capabilities. Fellow geeks will love it! Opt for the backup battery. You'll be glad you did. The downside is now that everything is on autopilot, I miss chatting with my Strawberry family. What an incredible, life-changing experience. Look no further. Your search for the perfect solar system ends with Strawberry Solar! read more

I researched 5 different companies and landed on Strawberry Solar for two main reasons. (1) They have their own master electrician (not a subcontractor) and (2) they offered me the most panels for the amount I had to spend (quality Panasonic panels!). The install went very well. Kenan, Mason, and Vincent handled the electrical stuff and did a great job! I was amazed at how easy it was to relate to them--like we had been friends for years. They even let two of my little girls be "helpers" and my kids loved them! Drew and Will managed different phases of sales and the roof install. I always felt respected and treated as the main priority. When we had a few small hiccups, each time Strawberry was there to accommodate my needs as a customer. When the system was started up it was a cloud day. I was shocked to see even w/o sun, the system was generating half of our regular consumption! When the sun shines it produces 3-5x what we need, extra goes to a battery (when I can afford it I'll get a second one) and the remainder goes back to the electric company for a small credit. I can't be happier. SolarEdge has great customer support and a monitoring app. Kermit the Frog once said, "It's not easy being green!"? Sorry, Kermit...it is really easy! Hat's off to the whole crew at Strawberry Solar for helping me to get there! read more
