We had him install solar power in our off grid property in Tawas. We have continued to hire him for additional work in Tawas and even for work at our house downstate in Bloomfield Hills. In our Bloomfield house he figured out an EMF hotspot that no one else could fix, and even found additional errors along the way that he corrected that were serious fire hazards from previous installers. He is brilliant and knows everything about electricity and solar, old-school electricians couldn't do what we were asking and Jeremy was the one that delivered, he can figure out anything!

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.

To have him look at what the other companies were trying to sell me and being honest on what i should get this made tons of sense. I just can't wait to have them install my new panels and start to take control of my energy cost. I'm looking forward to see what the future holds. I would highly recommend them any day of the week. I will update once everything is done. So second update. The panels were installed on September 30th and it looks great. Jimmy texted me to let me know what time I should expect the installers to show up. He even informed me that he would show up him self a little bit latter in the day to check on everything. They started around 9am in the morning. They introduced themselves to me and let me know what they were going to do and what to expect. As the day progressed they kept me informed and also were awesome to show me what they were doing and asking if I had questions on anything. My kids were watching them through the windows and everyone was so cool that they waved and smiled at my kids. Jimmy even showed up talked to me and what was really cool was to see that the owner had brought everyone lunch. They finished up around 5ish and picked up all of there stuff and made my place look like it was when they left. By far this was a awesome experience with the owner and the crew. To see everyone happy and enjoying there work that they do is amazing. Thank you guys for everything you have done for my family. I will highly recommend you to everyone I know.

Hats off to the Helios Solar Team. I've been researching solar power systems for the past year…read more There's a heck of a lot of hardware choices as well as installers to choose from. I pretty much had decided on the hardware I wanted so I then began checking out installers. I narrowed it down to companies that have been in business for at least 10 years and had legitimate and favorable reviews. I had several conversations with multiple vendors. Brandon and Connor were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions promptly via email or phone conversation. They offered me a fair price that included the hardware, installation and all the permits and paperwork required by the utility company and township. Installation day went very smoothly. There were a total of 22 solar panels installed on the roof and all the electrical wiring and connections to the breaker box. They arrived promptly at the scheduled time and had the system completely installed and running in 6 hours. Sam, Connor, Brandon, Joel and the electricians (Todd and Ryan) were a pleasure to work with. They were professional and down-to-earth guys. This was a quality and glitch-free installation and I couldn't be any happier with the results. A few days after the installation I requested an additional monitoring capability that wasn't included in the original contract. Not only did they come out and install the additional parts required, but they didn't charge me a thing! That's service above-and-beyond. If you're looking for a quality product and professional installation, look no further than Helios Solar in Kalamazoo, MI. Thanks guys!!

Let me start with the positive. Installation by the Detroit-based team was neat, well-done &…read morecompleted 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.
