electricity rates have climbed. How do local costs compare with the national average, and what could solar mean for your household?<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Michigan\u2019s average electricity price rose from 17.5 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2021 to 19.3 cents in 2024, about 10%.

The impact depends on your energy use, system, sunlight, and utility rules.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">With LightReach, homeowners can lease with no upfront investment and lock in a low, fixed monthly rate, helping limit exposure to rising utility costs. Palmetto owns and maintains the system, with a 90% Production Guarantee and comprehensive protection program.<\/p>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"electricity-chart-container\">\n                <h3 class=\"chart-title\">Price of Energy: Michigan vs National Average<\/h3>\n\n                <div class=\"bar-chart-container\">\n  <div class=\"y-axis\">\n    <div class=\"y-label\">0\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">10\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">20\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">30\u00a2<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"chart-area\">\n    <div class=\"grid-lines\">\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2021 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 45.67%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">13.7\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 58.33%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">17.5\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2022 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 50.00%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">15.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 59.67%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">17.9\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2023 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 53.33%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">16.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 62.67%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">18.8\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2024 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 55.00%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">16.5\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 64.33%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">19.3\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x-axis\">\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2021<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2022<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2023<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2024<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart-legend\">\n  <div class=\"legend-item\">\n    <span class=\"legend-color us-color\"><\/span>\n    <span class=\"legend-label\">US Average<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"legend-item\">\n    <span class=\"legend-color local-color\"><\/span>\n    <span class=\"legend-label\">Michigan<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/data\/eia861\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Energy Information Administration, Form 861<\/a><\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-section\">\n            <h3 class=\"palmetto-section-subheading\">Michigan Area Utility Providers<\/h3>\n\n            <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-grid\">\n                <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-text\">\n                    <p class=\"palmetto-section-intro\">Michigan electricity prices vary by utility.

For new participants, export credits generally are not the same as full retail-rate net metering. The applicable credit, billing rules, and fees depend on your utility and rate schedule. As examples in the current materials, DTE Electric\u2019s residential Rider 18 lists outflow credits of $0.08782\/kWh for the first 17 kWh per day and $0.10081\/kWh for excess, effective for service after March 5, 2026; Consumers Energy\u2019s credit depends on the customer\u2019s applicable power-supply rates and may vary by time and season.<\/p><p>Eligible projects may be sized up to 110% of the customer\u2019s prior 12 months of electricity use, subject to a 550 kW program limit and utility requirements. Interconnection approval is required before operating the system. Some customers enrolled in legacy net metering may retain their terms for 10 years from enrollment, subject to program rules; municipal and cooperative utilities may have different policies. Check your current utility tariff before estimating savings.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">DTE Residential Battery Virtual Power Plant Pilot<\/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>This MPSC-approved, two-year pilot compensates participating residential battery owners at $105 per kWh, with a maximum total incentive of $504 per customer, in exchange for allowing DTE to dispatch the battery.

Electrical work generally requires a permit, and the permit applicant generally must be an electrical contractor or specialty contractor licensed by the state or municipality. An electrical contractor doing business as an electrician must hold the contractor license and have an associated master electrician. Whether a turnkey rooftop solar job also requires a residential-builder or maintenance-and-alteration license depends on the work\u2019s scope. Ask which business will perform and permit each part of the job, then check applicable credentials through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC) <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/bcc\">license-verification page<\/a>. Detroit issues its own electrical licenses and registrations, so also confirm local requirements for your property.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Look for certified installers<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Ask whether the people designing and installing your system hold relevant <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nabcep.org\/\">NABCEP certifications<\/a>, and verify the credential and its scope. Certification can show that someone has met a professional training or qualification standard; it is not a Michigan license or a guarantee of workmanship. Manufacturer certifications are specific to a manufacturer and may reflect product training or other manufacturer requirements. Ask which proposed crew members are certified for the brands in your quote, and what that certification covers.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Compare quotes the same way<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Request written quotes based on the same household usage and project assumptions. Compare:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>System size in kilowatts (kW) and installed price per watt.<\/li>\n<li>Panel and inverter brands and models.<\/li>\n<li>Estimated annual production in kilowatt-hours (kWh), plus the assumptions behind the estimate.<\/li>\n<li>Warranty terms for panel product and performance, inverter, workmanship, and roof penetrations.<\/li>\n<li>Who handles permits and utility interconnection, and whether those costs are included.<\/li>\n<li>Total cost or monthly payment, financing or lease terms, and any payment escalator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">For context\u2014not as a statewide benchmark\u2014Palmetto reports a median installed system size of 6.8 kW and about 83 days from signing to installation. Ask each installer for a project-specific timeline and what could change it.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Permits, interconnection and your HOA<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">The building- and electrical-code enforcing agency depends on your address and may be local, county, or state; ask the appropriate agency whether your project needs a building permit. Electrical work generally requires a permit. You or your installer applies for interconnection through your serving utility. Utilities in Michigan include DTE Electric Company, Consumers Energy Co &#8211; (MI), Great Lakes Energy Coop, and Indiana Michigan Power Co. For utilities regulated by the Michigan Public Service Commission, utility approval is required before a system operates in parallel with the grid; municipal electric customers should check directly with their utility. Michigan\u2019s Homeowners\u2019 Energy Policy Act (2024 PA 68; MCL 559.307 and 559.309) makes HOA provisions that prohibit or effectively prohibit solar installations invalid and unenforceable. HOAs must have a solar policy and may not prohibit installation on a roof face, though application processes and certain standards are allowed. This is not a solar-easement law.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Red flags<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pressure to sign the same day, or a quote that discourages comparison.<\/li>\n<li>Unlicensed contractors, or out-of-state crews without a clearly identified, properly licensed responsible contractor.<\/li>\n<li>Vague production estimates, or a refusal to explain the assumptions behind them.<\/li>\n<li>A large upfront deposit without clear payment milestones and written terms.<\/li>\n<li>Promises of federal homeowner tax credits for 2026 purchases; homeowner credits ended December 31, 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">If a problem involves licensing, permits, or code compliance, LARA BCC Enforcement handles those complaints; contractual, monetary, and warranty disputes are outside its scope. The Michigan Attorney General\u2019s Consumer Protection Team accepts general consumer and sales-practices complaints.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.installer-guide-body h3 { font-size: var(--size-font-lg, 1.25rem); margin: 1.75rem 0 .5rem; }\n.installer-guide-body ul { margin: .5rem 0 1rem 1.25rem; }\n.installer-guide-body li { margin-bottom: .4rem; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"leasing-section\" class=\"leasing-solar-section\">\n<div class=\"leasing-container\">\n    <div class=\"leasing-content\">\n    <div class=\"leasing-text-column\">\n        <div class=\"section-number\">10<\/div>\n        <h2 class=\"palmetto-section-heading\">Go Solar with LightReach \u2014 No Upfront Cost<\/h2>\n        <p>LightReach PPAs are available to eligible DTE Energy and Consumers Energy customers in Michigan\u2014not Indiana-Michigan Power (IMP) or Lansing Board of Water &amp; Light (LBWL).
