North Coast Solar

We pride ourselves on providing the truth about how solar will benefit or not benefit our fellow Michiganders. It is just as important for our team to qualify you and your property as a good candidate for solar as it is to disqualify you. Making solar affordable and attainable while managing true expectations is our priority. We want to come along the side of a homeowner and customize the most efficient and least expensive system for their property and families' future needs and goals. With the help of homeowners like yourself we are changing the reputation of the industry here in Michigan. There are some misleading practices out there that have given the industry a bad name. Our goal is to educate and provide the best product and customer service possible to those that solar will make sense for.

Great team to work with

I had a great experience working with Jimmy and the rest of the North Coast team! They were passionate for their work, they were up front with what would work well for my needs, and helped me take care of several other electrical upgrades I wanted to take care of!

These Guys Are Great

I actually will likely not be going solar, and these guys helped me get to an informed decision rather than simply try to sell me a system. They'll get more business than their competitors because of this. I know who I would refer anyone to after a simple 20 min conversation with them. Thanks for being straight-shooters North Coast!

Excellent Experience, I highly recommend North Coast Solar

We received quotes from three installers, two obtained from EnergySage, and chose North Coast Solar for a variety of reasons. We just flipped the switch starting up our system today. I have nothing but praise for North Coast. Chris our rep was very helpful and responsive which is one of the reasons why we chose North Coast. They were extremely efficient in going through the extensive process getting the system approved with our power company and got the array and electrical components installed a couple weeks ahead of the estimated completion date. The installers were very nice and despite a couple unexpected challenges got the system installed in less than a day. Eric the owner what very helpful and kept on top of getting the local inspection and final approval as well as keeping me informed of the progress. I did some research and they use good quality equipment and I have been very please with the Enphase software that that works with the Enphase inverters and allows you to monitor the system. If you are looking for an installer in Mid Michigan I highly recommend North Coast Solar

Excellent Company

Dylan - the salesperson was very knowledgeable and did not take much too much time going over stuff when it became apparent that I had done my research and even had a couple of other quotes. Even showed the pricing for ground mount and explained why battery storage is not recommended at this time. Eric - from the office was very helpful with making sure I knew the next steps at each stage. The installation crew was great - 8 or so people came on the day of the install for our roof mounted 4kW system around 8am and were done by 1pm at the latest. System was just turned on a few days ago, but it has been producing so far at a rate far greater than what we have historically used.

Recent Residential Solar Proposal

North Coast Solar is an experienced company with responsive employees who work all over the state of Michigan. During the site visit, we called the owner twice, and their electrician once to answer my questions about their proposal. Their salesperson was knowledgable, personable, and responsive. The cost per KW was also competitive and the owner was even willing to throw in the cost of trenching 6 feet for a wire from a detached garage/solar panels to the electric panel in our house. We ended up choosing a proposal from the Ann Arbor Solarize program because of the group discount, and the vendor's experience working in Ann Arbor with the city's building department. North Coast has good people and a bright future.

Smooth sailing

Working with North Coast Solar was the best experience I'd ever had with a contractor working on my house. From sales through install the process was pleasant and uneventful.
