Kalamazoo Solar Incentives & Programs

Most Kalamazoo residents receive electric service from Consumers Energy, while some surrounding areas are served by Midwest Energy & Communications or municipal utilities. Consumers Energy offers a Distributed Generation Program, which provides bill credits for excess electricity solar customers send to the grid. This helps offset your power use at night or during cloudy days and makes solar energy more financially rewarding.

Our Team’s Experience with Kalamazoo

Our solar installation team is highly familiar with Kalamazoo’s local permitting processes, zoning regulations, and interconnection requirements. We tailor every system to the property’s design and sun exposure, ensuring long-term reliability and maximum efficiency throughout Michigan’s seasonal climate.

Solar Site Assessments in Kalamazoo

We begin every project with a detailed on-site evaluation, reviewing roof structure, sun exposure, shading patterns, and energy usage. This helps us design a system tailored to Kalamazoo’s seasonal conditions and your home’s unique layout, ensuring maximum efficiency and long-term performance.

Solar Battery Storage in Kalamazoo

Many Kalamazoo homeowners are pairing their solar systems with battery storage to improve reliability and energy independence. Batteries allow you to store excess solar power produced during the day and use it at night or during outages, which is especially valuable during Michigan storm seasons. Storage systems can also help reduce peak-hour electricity costs and provide backup power for essential home systems.

Solarize Kalamazoo

Solarize Kalamazoo is a city-supported group-buy program that makes going solar more accessible by helping neighbors team up to reduce installation costs. The program connects residents with vetted installers, educational workshops, and step-by-step guidance. As more households join a Solarize campaign, everyone benefits from increased price reductions. It is one of the most effective ways for Kalamazoo homeowners to adopt solar at a lower cost. Upcoming events and meetings are posted on the Kalamazoo Community Events page.

Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association

GLREA’s Solarize program helps communities across Michigan come together to lower solar installation costs through group purchasing. In Kalamazoo, GLREA supports Solarize campaigns, hosts clean energy workshops, and helps residents understand financing options, incentive programs, and long-term savings. Their mission is to empower communities with transparent, accessible information about renewable energy technologies.

Consumers Energy Solar Gardens

Consumers Energy offers a subscription-based community solar program called Solar Gardens. This initiative allows customers who cannot install solar on their property to support renewable energy and receive bill credits tied to program participation. While not located directly in Kalamazoo, nearby Solar Gardens sites provide a meaningful option for renters, shaded properties, or those wanting to support clean energy without rooftop installation.

Don’t just take it from us. We’ve helped many Kalamazoo homeowners and businesses invest in the sun.

“I had an extremely positive experience from quote to install! Solar expert Josh M. and Installation Project Manager Leo S. were extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions about solar panels with battery backup. They handled all the permits promptly and scheduled all the inspections with the city, electricians, & electric company flawlessly! Strawberry was even able to install my solar system a month earlier than originally planned. With a wealth of solar panel & battery technical knowledge, 15 years experience in the solar industry, and incredible customer service response, I can’t say enough positive things about Strawberry Solar! I’ve already recommended Strawberry to coworkers. 5/5 stars for sure and I’d give them more if I could!”

“I had Strawberry Solar install a 12 kW system this summer. I could not be more pleased and satisfied with how it has gone so far. The output is right about where it was promised it would be. The app/software that monitors the system is easy to use. The salesman did not push hard and let his product do the selling. We actually installed a slightly less expensive panel because it didn’t make sense for my situation. It was his idea. The installers were great and professional. No concerns at all.”
