Electrical reviews in Madison, Wisconsin

We’re so glad we chose Drews Solar for our solar project and highly recommend them for anyone considering solar installation. They exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Their communication was timely and thorough and the team was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. We were particularly impressed with their attention to detail and aesthetics.
We also appreciated the professionalism of the installation crew. Drews Solar took care of all the coordination with the utility company (MG&E), city inspectors, and even helped with the Focus On Energy rebate application, which made the whole process much easier for us.

Drews Solar is a local, family owned business with impeccable customer service, attention to detail, and passion for solar! With companies getting larger and taking the "profits at all cost" approach there are few companies like Drews Solar who truly care about the customer and the end result.

Michael and Maria not only walk their customers through the process but they take care of the process for them. Starting with the permitting process all the way through turning the system on and filing for state rebates we never had to worry or think twice about it. They are patient and give great advice on which options to choose.

What really sold us was the level of knowledge and expertise from before the start (the quoting process). Michael is the sales team, engineer, installer, and master electrician; he can give you the level of detail you need from day one. Our project was also not an easy feat. Being an almost 100 year old barn, the roof was anything but straight and up almost 40ft from the ground! Michael and his team made it look fantastic with every detail accounted for. Maria was always very responsive and on top of all the permitting, rebates, and final approval process.

We greatly appreciate everything they did and are so happy with the end result. We fully believe in shopping local and with Drews Solar you get so much more than what the big companies could ever offer! Highly Recommended.

I had a great experience with Drews Solar. Everything from scheduling the initial consultation to working out the final details for the solar system were quickly communicated and very well explained. The quality of their work is exceptional. Michael and his crew treat your home like their own. I highly recommend Drews Solar if you are considering installing a solar system in your home.

We had a 32 panel system installed on our roof. From estimate to install Michael Drews handled the project professionally. All of the paperwork, including rebates was handled by him. The work was done on time, looks great and works as advertised. MG&E has a good program for selling back 1:1 so no batteries were needed. I can't believe we didn't do this sooner.

Drews solar just completed our project today. Throughout the streamlined and simple process, Michael was quick to respond and very easy to work with and the paperwork was handled in an intuitive manner. His wife helped fill out the incentive forms for Focus on Energy making sure we would get incentives available to us. Getting solar does not need to be difficult, or overly expensive and our experience with Drews Solar is proof of that. If you are thinking about getting solar in Southern Wisconsin, I would highly recommend getting a quote from Drews Solar.

If you have even remotely though of solar, do it with Drews and don't look back! Drews is the most knowledgeable , passionate and professional installer in the Madison area. Period. The system even makes 500-700W of energy on rainy dark days! Wow! Well worth it IMHO. My pay off is 10-11 years, but the impact on the environment is immediate.
I initially found Drews through google maps and contacted them and a number of other installers. All my first-timer questions were answered promptly by Drews. Following the site visit, I received a detailed proposal with my best options and details about pricing. The pricing is very fair and totally worth it. My friends in CA who have solar confirmed that Drews uses the best quality panels, inverters, and equipment and installation pricing is nationally comparable. Going some cheap route is not worth it. Scheduling was easy and flexible despite the fact that he is in popular demand, he moved my date up and got the install done sooner.
During the installation I climbed on the roof and saw the quality of workmanship with mounts, boxes, conduits and he takes a lot of pride in making the work very neat and professional, especially since my install was complicated (see pics of roof). He finished on time and did an exceptional job. The city inspectors and the energy companies know his name so it makes the process very smooth, especially since he did all the paperwork.
He is really passionate about solar and runs it as his small business satisfying one customer at a time. And I am a satisfied customer as my system went live today (11/6/2018)
I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Drew's was incredible!

we decided that 2021 would be the year that we went solar, in an effort to limit our environmental footprint and reduce the cost of our utility bills! Michael was responsive, professional, and walked us through the process in detail so that we would know the "Why" of the system sizing, and how it would impact our bill and energy usage.

when installation day came, the crew was efficient, respectful, and did an excellent job. i was able to work from home the whole day without interruptions.

once the system was installed, Michael gave us a thorough walkthrough, showed us how to use the system and the APP to monitor the panels, and gave us detailed information on the tax and rebate programs.

i wouldn't hesitate to call them for future solar needs. truly a great local business!

Over the moon happy with Drews Solar. The people, service, and professionalism are top notch. I feel very secure in our solar journey working with them. You will not be disappointed in choosing Drews Solar!

This is the Solar installer you should choose. I highly recommend Drews Solar. From quote to installation, they provided amazing service, thoughtful system design, professional and skilled installers, and great communication. They took care of all the details for us for getting connected to the utility and getting our system running, as well as applying for rebates and navigating tax credit incentives.

We built our house a year ago as an all-electric house with the goal of being net-zero energy. After collecting a year's worth of usage data, Drews helped us size our system appropriately, including planning for future car charging or other increases in usage. With our system installed and running, we are on our way to achieving our net-zero goal. The quote was very competitive with other installers' quotes. They kept us in the loop the whole time and got our system installed as fast as possible. We've been operating for a few days now and are totally satisfied with the system they installed.

Without a doubt, this is a company you can feel comfortable giving your business.

I'll echo the many great reviews... Drews did an excellent job. They were very communicative throughout the entire project, handled all the paperwork for the City/MGE, and even managed to squeeze our install in a month earlier than expected. Our install was complete on a Friday, and switched on the following Monday (we got lucky - it usually takes a couple weeks). And our production numbers for the first week seem right in line with the estimates (though they will vary, of course). Highly recommended!

Drews Solar was a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend them to anyone interested in solar in the greater Madison area. Maria and Michael were consummate professionals throughout the whole process, with clear and frequent communication, setting reasonable expectations and providing a great overview of the process and what we were purchasing. The installation went quickly, and the crew was clean and courteous, laying down mats and cleaning up all install spaces.

The bid and quoting process was straightforward, offering competitive pricing for USA made panels and inverter. Drews Solar isn't one of solar firms that are super sale-y and pushy. They want the best system for your needs.

Drews was professional, proactive, and flexible throughout our solar install process. They worked with us to develop the design that would work best for our property and did not try to upsell us on features that we didn't need. Our install ended up requiring significant electrical work, and Drews did a great job leaving our electrical systems better than they found them, including digging and refilling a long trench and meticulously relabeling the circuits on our new breaker box. They also communicated really clearly about who was handling which parts of the process and what we could expect from our energy utility company. The technicians were efficient, polite, and professional while on the job site. I would definitely recommend Drews to anyone looking to install solar panels.

I had Drew's Solar install a solar system in August 2021, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Since then, my electricity costs from the utility company have been fully offset, which has been a huge relief on my budget.

From start to finish, the team at Drew's Solar were highly professional, providing excellent customer service and high-quality planning and workmanship for the installation of the solar panels, wiring, and all components. They took care to explain everything clearly and kept me informed throughout the process.

The installation itself was seamless, and the team was respectful of my property and left everything tidy. In my search for a solar solution, I compared Drew's Solar to several other providers and found them to be the most cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.

I highly recommend Drew's Solar to anyone considering a solar system. I was so impressed with their work that I'm already looking at having a solar-powered battery backup system set up by them as well.

Thank you, Drew's Solar, for your outstanding service and expertise!

Drews Solar was fantastic with our home solar project. They were reasonably priced and really great to work with. They were communicative through the whole process and were able to wire our panels internally through the house. This was extremely important to us. Everything was professionally done and the end-result is exactly what we were looking for. Thanks!

A nice small local company that was very responsive to our initial questions and subsequent follow-up.
Great crew, polite, easy to work with, quality workmanship, attentive to details, responsive to questions.
System works well. No glitches or issues since the installation nine months ago. We have not paid any electricity/gas bill since. Even without the tax credit I would have gone ahead with Drew Solar.

We had an excellent experience with Drews Solar. They thoroughly answered our many questions as we tried to figure out the best panel configuration for our roof and our needs. They even recommended which electrical panel to install to work well with the new solar panels. The installation went very smoothly and quickly, and the entire Drews team was wonderful. We have had the panels for almost a year and are happy with them. The estimated production was very close to actual output, and we’ve had a few very low and even negative electric bills already.

Drews Solar did a wonderful job installing solar panels at our house - from start to finish. They explained the whole process well, addressed all our questions, and were on time and on budget. Excellent communication throughout the process. Highly recommend them for solar installation.

Drews Solar worked on adding additional panels to my array.
They were great to deal with in designing a non-standard wall-mount installation.
Work went well, and was completed ahead of schedule.

Another fantastic experience with Drew's Solar!
This was our second project with Drew's Solar, and once again, they exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, their communication was clear, timely, and professional. They worked seamlessly with our other contractors, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
The quality of their work is top-notch — everything looks amazing and functions perfectly. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in the final result. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Drew's Solar to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality solar installation.
Thanks again to the whole team for making this another great experience!

Drews Solar did such an awesome job on my house! From the very first conversation to the final switch-on, the entire process was smooth and professional. The team showed up exactly when they said they would, worked efficiently, and treated my home with care and respect.

The installation of my panels was done with incredible attention to detail—everything looks clean, sharp, and thoughtfully laid out. They took the time to answer all my questions, explained how the system works, and even walked me through the app so I could track my energy production in real time.

Now that the system is up and running, my energy production is already exceeding my expectations. I’m saving money, boosting my home’s value, and reducing my carbon footprint—all thanks to Drews Solar that clearly takes pride in doing excellent work.

If you are considering going solar, this is your team. The crew at Drews Solar is outstanding, and I give them my highest recommendation!

We were very impressed and pleased with the customer service and quality installation and product provided by Drews Solar. They managed all the permitting and design of the system to meet our energy needs. Now that we’ve had the panels for more than a month, we can report that all systems are working better than expected and the monitoring tool shows our production rate is more than covering our household’s needs with our 2 EVs. The technicians showed great attention to detail with a clean and orderly setup of the panels and EV charger. The communication with the owners and crew was excellent. Every promise they made was met. Highly recommend.
