Looking for local Solar/Battery Supplier - SE Michigan

[zzmtc]

Does anyone know of a solar supplier (panels, batteries, & accessories) local to Southeast Michigan (Detroit) area? Tired of paying high shipping costs for smaller quantity purchases. Haven’t been able to find any places with Google.

Thinking perhaps a Solar installer who frequently will have extras leftover from jobs?

Thanks.

The only one I know of is Greentech in Livonia, but I haven't dealt with them yet.

I don’t know of any place in SE Michigan that carries Q Cell (although you can check out the suggestions in this thread) but I’m looking for 3 bifacial panels in that wattage range (I need VOC to be < 50V) so if you find a supplier, let me know.

Looks like a signature solar reseller?

Ass-u-me so. They seem to have replied timely to a few emails, in stock on the website seems to be off on an item I inquired about but was told it would be a few weeks out.

Yes, they are

From what I can find, it looks like they started in Grand Rapids but now they're out of Wisconsin.

From their website :

“Our Michigan-based phone support connects you directly with a live, knowledgeable representative. “

So the support is still in MI, dunno where they ship from.

Sinclair Designs & Engineering (the solar panel racking folks) in Albion quoted me an inverter and panels, at a competitive price, when we were installing our system. We drove from South of Cleveland to their factory and picked up the racking. Saved a bunch on shipping. Great folks to work with!

I'll have to see what they carry, as they're less than an hour away.

Hmmm, that’s about 5 hours round trip from me in 43440.

Did they also have panels available for pickup?

You'll have to contact them, Joe. All I know is that 8 months ago their prices on panels were competitive and they were good to work with on the racking. Sorry!
