Why choose Michigan Solar Solutions, and why you might not
What Michigan Solar Solutions does well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers it competes with most.
Reasons to choose Michigan Solar Solutions
It fixes systems others put inMichigan Solar Solutions has its own service team. It says it also services systems that other installers put in. That helps if your first installer has closed.
It does batteries and backup generatorsIt puts in solar, batteries and standby generators that run your home when the power goes out. You can get all three from one company.
Its loans can move with the houseIt says it is approved for Michigan Saves loans of 10 to 25 years. It says these loans may pass to the buyer if you sell. Homeland offers the same kind of loan.
It is now owned by its staffIt says it started in 2007 and became employee-owned in 2026. Its head-office Google listing shows 4.8 from 470 reviews.
Reasons to look at others
Its warranty on its own work has no set lengthIt says it covers its own work, but gives no number of years. It lists no warranty for leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. Wolf River lists 25 years for both. Ask for both terms in writing.
It lists only one way to payIts site lists only the Michigan Saves loan. It does not say if you can pay upfront, rent the panels or take a PPA. Ask which plans it offers.
It shows many brands, but not which it usesIts homepage shows logos for many panel, inverter and battery makers. It does not say which ones go on a normal home. Ask for the exact models in your written quote.
Some reviews describe slow repairs and service feesIts negative reviews describe a battery system down for six weeks, slow follow-up after storm damage, and repeated service fees. Ask who schedules service calls and what a visit costs.
Michigan Solar Solutions reviews: what customers say
Each review site shows its own score; we read them on October 12 and 13, 2026 and do not combine them or add our own rating.

- Trustpilot3.7 / 51 review · All reviews on its Trustpilot page (listed as Michigansolarsolutions)Read reviews
The five positive reviews below praise knowledgeable, courteous crews, clear answers, and a fast visit to restore power after a meter change. The five negative reviews describe slow follow-up on storm-damaged equipment, a gateway reportedly not replaced under warranty, a battery system down for six weeks, roof leaks and no warranty details for a second owner, and repeated service fees and arc faults. These are issues to ask about, not a measure of how often they happen. Ask Michigan Solar Solutions who schedules service calls and what visits cost.

How we researched this profile
We read Michigan Solar Solutions’ own pages on October 13, 2026: homepage, about, residential solar, home service, FAQ, contact and its employee ownership announcement. We did not check its licenses in a state registry. On October 14, 2026 we also checked its Google Business listings for Commerce Township and Riverdale, which show the same street addresses; its own site was behind a bot check that day, and the Michigan business registry was too. We did not buy a system, request a quote, visit an office or interview customers. Michigan Solar Solutions did not review this page.
Our installer methodology explains what we check.
