Strawberry Solar - Profile & Reviews

I found Strawberry on Energysage and was looking for a local company; fortunate to pick Strawberry. Very easy and fast to get a realistic quote. The layout they offered was detailed and took into account the house and architecture much better than any other proposal. After the initial home evaluation we were able to do everything online and on time (actually faster than expected). The crew was very professional arrived as expected, got the project done and cleaned up in one day. Follow-up afterward has been great. Everything was completed in Fall of 2020 and energy production has consistently met or exceeded projections. Not the lowest quote but I had the most confidence in Strawberry to get the job done.

I can't say enough good things about Strawberry Solar. Let me start by saying that a much larger, well-advertised, 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 also 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!

Worked with Gunner at Strawberry Solar after much research and comparison with at least 5 different installers and systems. He was very patient, extremely knowledgeable, and highly professional. He explained everything in ways that I could understand, answered every email and phone call promptly and walked me through the process from start to finish. He dealt with me and my sometimes ridiculous questions with a smile and professionalism every time.

Tim was the project manager. He, Brad, the top-notch electrician, and the installers were fantastic - the job was done in 2 days, and he and Gunner have been in touch to answer my follow-up questions after the install was complete. Service was outstanding when I had a problem with a bum inverter. Tim was on the case and it was replaced within a day.

I choose Strawberry because they are a small independent local company from my hometown, who just happened to have the best price. I am very happy that I did. I would highly recommend this company!

Strawberry Solar designed and installed a complete solar install for my house. Throughout the process, they were responsive, friendly, professional and helpful. They managed to do the full install in a single day, and even built out the quote without having to come on-site, just from photos I supplied (a big plus in the time of COVID). Any time I had questions, they were answered thoroughly. Every step in the process was explained. They made sure that things were done right. They even brought my dogs biscuits when they had to come out a second time to adjust some things, so they definitely got two paws up there.

checking they gave me false information about the solar system, I canceled the order and now in touch with BBB and consumers protection agency and Federal trade comision and states atty general. BUYER BE WARE

I had a few quotes for a solar panel installation, one of which was Strawberry Solar. They came to my house and evaluated the best location for my panels and gave me different options for batteries, panel brand and inverter. I had lots of questions and Gunnar was very knowledgeable about the process and advantages/disadvantages.

I like that this company did not push a battery on me, but instead let me choose exact configuration of the system I was comfortable with. I don't think anyone can beat them on price at this point either. They are a small company that does high quality work and stands behind their installations.

My project was completed on time within the 2-month window they quoted. I would recommend them to my friends and family looking for a solar installation.

My only minor complaint is that there can be 2-3 week chunks of time where not much is happening, so there's not any communication on their side. I've reached out to them and they acknowledged it they would try to be more consistent with communication in the future.

Also, they keep an eye periodically on your system for the lifetime of it which I thought was pretty awesome.

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!

If I had to describe Strawberry Solar with one word, it would be excellent. They made building an elaborate solar system easy and stress-free. The process started with Seger, a member of Strawberries sales team. For every question, we asked he was able to answer and more. Seger took the time to design a system tailored to our needs using top-rated components. The installation crew was great! They were friendly, seemed to enjoy their work, and respectful of our home. Will and Joe, the owners, were working with the crew to ensure the best install possible. Kenan and the electrical team were sensational. They did a fantastic job wiring the system and made sure everything was up to code. During the electrical inspection, the inspector was impressed and said he knows it’s done right when Kenan is on the project. Strawberry pulled all the permits, dealt with DTE interconnection, dealt with inspectors, and built a top-notch solar system for the Pierson household. We appreciate the outstanding service from Strawberry at a great price.
The Pierson Family

I loved the pole mount solution but took forever to receive updated quotes.

From start to project completion, Strawberry Solar was there to answer our questions, walk us through the installation process, and interface with the electric company on our behalf. The installation crew was punctual, neat, and organized. The finished product looks very professional on our metal roof.

We did detailed research on-line, selected 3 companies to come out and talk with us, picked Strawberry Solar and are very happy: Sales folks are very engaged, knowledgeable, informative but do not push. Outstanding response and followup. Electrical crew was professional and highly skilled. Polite, cleaned up everything. Installation crew was the same, polite, skilled and cleaned up everything. System is working great. In addition Strawberry Solar gave us the most favorable pricing option. They do not seem to be in it just for the money; very personal care. They have contacted us several times since we are up and running to make sure all is well. Go Strawberry Solar !

This Detroit based crew was professional, informative and efficient. They took time to proactively educate us during our research period and explain comparative quotes with ease. In writing, the kept us informed and completed all necessary net metering paperwork and permits.

Tim and Drew stayed true to their timeline and estimate.

In conjunction with the local electrician, installation was seamless and beautiful when compared to other homes I’ve seen.

We chose Strawberry Solar for their thoroughness and professionalism in the bidding process, and we are so glad we did. Their bid was not the lowest-cost bid we received, but it was detailed and clearly presented, and we could see their proposal was based on research, experience, and our particular needs. We had an excellent consult with their rep where he answered all our questions well and impressed us as part of a great team. All stages of the process went smoothly, from permitting to installation to follow-up. Throughout, our rep provided excellent communication.

These guys did an awesome job in a very short amount of time. They were very responsive to questions and concerns. I have already recommended them to several others. One of which has also purchased solar.

Thank you Strawberry Solar!

I am extremely happy with strawberry solar. I decided to install late in the year and even with snow on the roof, they completed the roof array in 1 day. Drew was awesome and responsive throughout the process. It is great to see a company with customer service still. The icing on the cake? They were also the lowest bid! I'm glad he showed me the value of upgrading to a Panasonic panel.

We are extremely happy with our choice to use Strawberry Solar as our solar installer. The final installed system exceeds our expectations and working with Will, Diane and the rest of the team was easy. Everyone was professional and responsive. From start to finish, we were happy to work with Strawberry Solar.

This company not only came in with the lowest bid, they were the most thorough in determining what our energy needs were and then VERY efficient in delivering the panels, coordinating inspections and scheduling the electrical hook up. Their communication was excellent in keeping us posted with steps along the way. Thank you, Diane! This is definitely a company my husband and I would recommend to anyone seriously considering solar energy. Thank you, Strawberry Solar, for getting us a closer to energy independence with a smaller carbon footprint for our planet!!

After 55 years of dreaming about solar or wind power, Strawberry Solar has made it come true. Yes, my roof array now supplies my electrical needs thanks to a great team of providers. They're speedy but accurate, very helpful in every way and make sure you understand just what is going on and what to expect. Kudos to the Strawberry team!

Strawberry Solar was an easy company to work with. Their communication was much better than most contractors, and were very comfortable using digital systems to get things done.
As the whole project started and finished during the winter there were numerous delays due to weather and subcontractors, but they were proactive through texts/email to ensure I knew what was going on.
Bonus: they were the lowest bidder!

From start to finish they did a great job communicating on the project! The solar panels are excellent and saving me so much money each month!! It was a no brainier to go with Strawberry Solar, they are awesome to work with!

The folks at Strawberry Solar are a fine, fun and funny group of professionals. Our family thoroughly enjoyed having them around (up on our roof) and explaining everything from start to finish. Our bills have been roughly $100 less each month; on a few bills we only paid taxes and fees.

Look, fossil fuels are going the way of the dinosaur. Solar is an endless source of free electricity. It's good for your budget and it's great for the environment. You definitely won't be sorry you went solar, especially if you go Strawberry solar.
