Residential solar, done right.
Welcome to Drews Solar, where we bring the power of the sun to your home with integrity, care and expertise. As one of the leading solar companies in Madison, WI, we focus exclusively on residential solar installations and have proudly helped over 400 families in south-central Wisconsin embrace clean, renewable energy since 2016.
Our mission is simple: to provide fair prices, quality craftsmanship, and clear communication every step of the way, so you feel informed and confident about your decision to go solar. And by providing only the highest-quality technology, fair pricing, and tailored solutions that genuinely fit your needs and goals, you’ll be making a sound investment in a solar array that will last decades to come.
We specialize in rooftop residential solar for the Madison area and surrounding counties. Our founder, Michael Drews, started Drews Solar in 2016 after more than a decade in the solar industry. He brought best practices from across the country back to his home state of Wisconsin. Together with Maria Drews, we’ve built a family-run business known for exceptional service and attention to detail.
By staying intentionally small, we ensure the highest quality installations paired with clear communication and a personal touch.

Michael Drews
Founder & Owner
Michael’s journey with solar began over 15 years ago after earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UW-Madison. He honed his skills with top solar companies in Madison, Chicago, and Los Angeles, learning every aspect of the industry from design to installation.

As a licensed master electrician, he personally oversees every site visit, system design and installation, ensuring your solar system is crafted with care and precision. Michael’s passion lies in making solar simple, beautiful and empowering for homeowners.
