Drews Solar322 W Wilson Street, Madison, Wisconsin, United States
Since Jan, 2020
Many homeowners have worked with at least a few contractors in the past. Sometimes we find a good one, who were more than happy to pass along to our friends and family. Other times, the contractors we hire show up late, are difficult to keep in touch with, temporarily pull off your project to start another, or feel its acceptable to do shoddy work, leaving us with problems years down the road. This leaves us wishing we had chose our contractor differently. Drews Solar is a family business, where each project receives our full attention. I cover all aspects of the business, including site visits, design, and installations, while my wife provides customer service and office support, ensuring your project moves along quickly and you can get your questions answered even if I am out on a job site. I show up on time, am easy to contact throughout the process, I set realistic expectations with customers, and never cut corners with my work. I treat each home like it were my own – my installations are clean and sleek, and I choose quality equipment that is highly-reliable and looks good on your home.
Michael Drews, Owner
Im a solar professional specializing in residential installations in southern Wisconsin. I love helping customers find the best most effective way to produce their own clean power from the sun. I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree from UW Madison in 2005 and have been working in the solar industry ever since. Ive worked for great companies in Madison, Chicago and Los Angeles in a wide variety of capacities – from sales to design, to installation and management. Ive personally installed over 100 solar energy systems and have overseen the installation of over 5,000 more. I believe in using solar panels to make homes more beautiful and independent, and that the process of getting solar panels on your house should be easy, straight-forward and without hassle. I grew up on a farm outside of Fox Lake, Wisconsin, and its there that I learned a solid work ethic from my mother and father and the others around me. They showed me that you could get dirty, sweat and work hard, but take joy in the task that youve accomplished. Im down to earth, approachable and clear with my communication, and Id love to put solar panels on your home!
Maria Drews, Customer Support
Michael and I met on a service trip to the Florida Everglades while attending UW Madison. We spent our days cutting out invasive species and planting native trees to restore the natural environment. Now, many years later, our partnership of hard work, environmental responsibility, and service continue. I spent my years at UW Madison studying Civil Engineering with a focus on environmental engineering and water quality, interested in the ways technology and design can make our world a cleaner, healthier, and more efficient place. After earning my masters degree I spent a decade working in education, ministry, and social services. With Drews Solar, I am passionate about bringing the best of both worlds together - professional design and engineering alongside clear communication and excellent service. Drews Solar is a family business. And by working together we ensure that you get ongoing updates about the progress of your solar project and a quick response when you need it. Im looking forward to working with you!
Working With us
We specialize in residential rooftop solar installations. We take care of everything, including working with your municipality and electric utility to permit and connect your system to the grid. We typically schedule projects out at least 2 months and the installation takes a couple days to a week, depending on the size of your system. Some years our schedule is fully booked by early summer, so please dont delay in letting us know if you would like to do a project this year. We fully install all projects without the use of subcontractors. We do everything from roof work to electrical work, and also designs and city permitting. We are based in Madison, Wisconsin and cover a large area of southern Wisconsin, including all of Dane, Sauk, Columbia, Jefferson, and Iowa counties and large parts of Rock, Green, Richland, Dodge, and Waukesha counties.
