It shows both leasing options (like Palmetto&#8217;s LightReach program, with no upfront cost) and cash purchase, so you can compare what makes sense for your home.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"calculator-content\">\n\n    <!-- Toggle Bar -->\n    <div class=\"calc-toggle\">\n        <div class=\"calc-toggle-track\">\n            <button class=\"calc-toggle-btn active\" data-target=\"lease\">Lease<\/button>\n            <button class=\"calc-toggle-btn\" data-target=\"cash\">Cash Purchase<\/button>\n            <div class=\"calc-toggle-slider\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- LEASE PANEL (default visible) -->\n    <div class=\"lease-panel\">\n        <div class=\"results-grid\">\n\n            <div class=\"result-card\">\n                <div class=\"content-box\">\n                    <div class=\"result-header\">System Size<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"system-info-desc\">\n                        This system size is designed to offset approximately <strong>100%<\/strong> of the average electricity usage for a home in Michigan.\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"info-box\">\n                    <div class=\"info-title\">Recommended<br\/>System<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"info-value\">6.80 kW<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"info-desc\">Typical for your home size in MI<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"result-card\">\n                <div class=\"content-box\">\n                    <div class=\"result-header\">Your Monthly Payment<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"system-info-desc\">Estimated monthly cost with LightReach<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"lease-hero-price\">$78<span class=\"lease-hero-unit\">\/mo<\/span><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"info-box\">\n                    <div class=\"info-title\">As low as<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"info-value\">$78\/mo<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"result-card\">\n                <div class=\"content-box\">\n                    <div class=\"result-header\">Why Lease Solar?<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"tax-credit-callout\">\n                        Following the 2025 Big Beautiful Bill, the federal 30% solar tax credit is no longer available for cash purchases.

residents pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country \u2014 and those rates have been climbing steadily for years.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">From 2021 to 2024, the average Michigan electricity rate rose from 17.5\u00a2 to 19.3\u00a2 per kWh \u2014 a 10% increase in just three years, and well above the national average of 16.5\u00a2.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Solar panels help offset that cost by generating electricity at home. The more your system produces, the less you rely on the grid \u2014 and the less exposed you are to future rate increases.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Through Palmetto&#8217;s LightReach program, homeowners can go solar with no upfront cost and a fixed monthly rate.

DTE Energy leads at 19.7\u00a2, followed by Consumers Energy at 18.8\u00a2 and Great Lakes Energy at 17.7\u00a2. Indiana Michigan Power is the only provider below average, at 15.7\u00a2.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Michigan&#8217;s above-average rates stem largely from aging grid infrastructure and high transmission costs. For homeowners on DTE or Consumers Energy, Palmetto&#8217;s LightReach program \u2014 a solar lease with no upfront cost and a 90% Production Guarantee \u2014 can offer predictable, long-term energy

<a href=\"#incentives-table\" class=\"palmetto-incentives-text-link\">solar incentives in Michigan<\/a> \u2014 from statewide tax exemptions to utility rebates \u2014 that can meaningfully reduce the cost of going solar.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">At the state level, Michigan exempts solar systems from both property tax assessments and sales tax. Major utilities like DTE Energy and Consumers Energy offer upfront rebates and long-term production incentives. Local programs in cities like Lansing and Ann Arbor add even more options depending on where you live.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Note: The federal 30% residential solar tax credit was eliminated by the Big Beautiful Bill.

This means your property taxes will not go up as a result of going solar \u2014 a significant long-term benefit for Michigan homeowners.<\/p><p>The exemption applies to residential solar systems up to 150 kW in capacity, which covers virtually all home installations (most Michigan residential systems are 8\u201312 kW). The exemption also covers battery storage equipment paired with your solar system. At Michigan&#8217;s average property tax rate of approximately 1.25%, a $25,000 solar system could otherwise add $300\u2013$435 per year to your tax bill \u2014 savings that compound to $6,000\u2013$8,700 over a 20-year system lifespan.<\/p><p>This exemption applies automatically statewide and does not require a separate application by the homeowner. It was reinstated in 2019 under Governor Whitmer and remains fully active in 2026.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">Michigan Sales Tax Exemption for Solar<\/span>\n        <span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n        <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>When you purchase a solar energy system in Michigan, you are not required to pay the state&#8217;s 6% sales tax on the equipment. This exemption applies to the full solar energy system at the point of purchase, including solar panels, inverters, racking hardware, and battery storage components \u2014 providing an immediate reduction in your upfront installation costs.<\/p><p>For a typical residential solar system costing $20,000\u2013$30,000, the sales tax exemption saves homeowners $1,200\u2013$1,800 right away, before the system ever generates a single kilowatt-hour. This exemption is applied automatically at the time of sale by the installer or retailer and does not require a separate application from the homeowner.<\/p><p>This is one of Michigan&#8217;s most straightforward solar incentives \u2014 it requires no paperwork, no income qualification, and no system size minimum.

Under this program, residential solar owners receive bill credits for any surplus electricity their systems export to the grid. For systems 20 kW or smaller \u2014 which covers the vast majority of home installations \u2014 excess generation is credited at the full retail electricity rate and can be carried forward to the next billing period, effectively spinning your meter backward.<\/p><p>Credit rates vary by utility: DTE Energy credits range from approximately $0.0775\u2013$0.14\/kWh, Consumers Energy from $0.09\u2013$0.16\/kWh, and Lansing Board of Water &#038; Light from approximately $0.06\u2013$0.10\/kWh. For systems between 20 kW and 550 kW, credits are issued at the avoided cost rate, which is lower than the retail rate. A small number of Michigan utilities \u2014 including Cloverland Electric Cooperative and Alpena Power \u2014 still offer traditional one-to-one net metering.<\/p><p>Michigan raised the statewide DG program cap from 1% to 10% of utility peak load in 2023\u20132024, significantly expanding access.

Unlike standard solar programs, the SEU owns the equipment and customers pay a predictable monthly rate for access to solar and battery storage benefits.<\/p><p>The SEU model eliminates the need for homeownership or a large upfront investment, making clean energy accessible to a much broader segment of the Ann Arbor community. Pilot projects targeting lower-income neighborhoods are expected to launch in 2026, with citywide expansion planned for 2027. The program is particularly significant for the estimated 50%+ of Ann Arbor residents who rent their homes and have historically been unable to participate in rooftop solar programs.<\/p><p>For the most current information on program launch dates, eligibility, monthly rates, and how to sign up, visit the City of Ann Arbor&#8217;s sustainability pages at a2gov.org or contact the Ann Arbor Office of Sustainability directly.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"palmetto-incentives-cta\">\n        <h3 class=\"cta-heading\">Ready to go solar with no money down?<\/h3>\n

With a PPA, you pay a set rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the solar electricity your system produces \u2014 rather than a fixed monthly amount. That means your bill naturally reflects how much your panels generate, with more production (and more savings) during Michigan&#8217;s sunny summer months.<\/p>\n\n<p>Compared to a cash purchase, a PPA through LightReach removes the biggest barriers to going solar: there&#8217;s no upfront cost, no loan to manage, and no maintenance responsibility. Since Palmetto Finance owns the system, we handle everything \u2014 from detailed solar design and premium panel installation to permitting, project management, and ongoing service. If your system doesn&#8217;t meet our <strong>90% Production Guarantee<\/strong>, we&#8217;ll credit you the difference. A comprehensive protection program is included with every plan.<\/p>\n\n<p>Note that Indiana-Michigan Power (IMP) and Lansing Board of Water &#038; Light (LBWL) customers are not currently eligible for LightReach. To learn more about whether a PPA or cash purchase makes more sense for your situation, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/palmetto.com\/solar-buy-or-lease\">solar buy vs. lease guide<\/a> or explore <a
