William T.
MES has been around longer than most solar companies in Michigan, and that experience shows. They designed a system that fits our roof perfectly and has been producing above estimates. Very happy with the installation quality.
Janet F.
Solid company with knowledgeable staff. They use quality products and stand behind their work. The only reason for four stars is the scheduling took longer than we expected, but the end result was worth the wait.
Michael D.
We chose MES because of their 35+ years of experience. The installation was done well and our system is performing as promised. Response time for follow-up questions could be faster, but they do get back to you.
