What to know in Michigan.
MPSC publishes the Michigan Interconnection and Distributed Generation Standards and utility-specific procedure dockets. The utility’s procedures explain how those rules are implemented for that service territory.
MPSC’s distributed-generation page describes utility tariff updates implementing the 2023 energy law. Check the current utility DG tariff instead of using an old legacy net-metering credit assumption.
LARA explains that the state electrical code uses the NEC with Part 8 amendments, while provisions for one- and two-family dwellings are in the Michigan Residential Code; electrical alterations generally require a permit.
Municipal electric utilities have their own interconnection and billing arrangements; confirm the enforcing electrical agency for the property.

Narrow possible delivery utilities by ZIP or confirm yours
Find the delivery utility on your electric bill first. A retail supplier or on-site solar seller may be a different company; your delivery utility handles the local grid connection.
The state map includes an address search and investor-owned, cooperative and municipal utility territories.

No matching providers in this reporting snapshot. Check the official directory above.
Official logo sources · Initials indicate a logo not yet verified. Municipal-owner emblems identify the owning city or village.
Source: EIA-861 final 2025 detailed data · Reporting year 2025. Names and reported counties are historical survey data, not a live address lookup. A county can have several providers, and a listing does not mean every resident can choose it. Small/territory-only reports may not identify residential service separately.
Credits, rebates, and other opportunities.
Check the program’s scope before comparing savings: a tax exemption, equipment rebate, loan and electricity-export payment provide different benefits. Funding, utility territory, income, equipment and installation dates can limit eligibility. Amounts below are not added together or deducted from product prices.

Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER)
Michigan EGLE / CLEAResult · Heat pumps / Efficiency
Income-qualified efficiency and electrification projects proceed through the program and registered contractors. Some districts have temporarily paused new income-qualified applications.
- Benefit
- Approved-project benefit depends on household and upgrade eligibility; check district availability first.
- Who may qualify
- Income eligibility, participating district funding, eligible measures and an approved MiHER Registered Contractor.
- Before applying or buying
- Apply and complete the assessment/project-approval sequence before work; confirm current district status with the program.
No matching records in this reviewed selection. Check the official program sources for more options.
MiHER is not a universal rebate: income, project approval and district funding matter. Utility-specific programs may offer separate assistance. This is a curated starting list, not every local incentive or a guarantee of available funding.
Federal programs in every state
The federal rules below apply nationally. State-administered federal rebates still require the local program to be operating and your project to meet its conditions.
Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D)
Closed / endedNot available for new property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Do not assume a federal 30% credit for a new 2026 solar, wind, geothermal or battery installation.
IRS: Residential Clean Energy CreditEnergy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C)
Closed / endedThe federal home-efficiency credit, including qualifying heat-pump improvements, ended for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
IRS: Energy Efficient Home Improvement CreditHOMES / High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates
Eligibility / funding conditionsFederally funded home-energy rebates operate through participating local administrators. Check the state program’s launch, current funding, eligible measures and application requirements. This is not a blanket rooftop-solar rebate.
DOE: Home Energy Rebates ProgramWeatherization Assistance Program
Eligibility / funding conditionsIncome-eligible households may receive approved home-weatherization services through local agencies. This is assistance delivered through a program, rather than an automatic reimbursement for equipment you buy.

Permits and electrical codes.
LARA explains that the state electrical code uses the NEC with Part 8 amendments, while provisions for one- and two-family dwellings are in the Michigan Residential Code; electrical alterations generally require a permit.
Use the adoption authority linked below to check the effective date and amendments. The newest published NEC edition is not automatically the edition adopted for your project.
Before ordering equipment.
Two conversations. Keep their answers separate.
Track permits and interconnection in a project
- Confirm the permit authority
Ask the city, county, or state electrical office which building, electrical and fire-code editions and amendments apply to this address. Request the solar/ESS permit checklist and inspection sequence.
- Confirm the utility process
Give the serving utility your proposed capacity, inverter model and operating mode. Ask which interconnection application, tariff, export limits, meter changes and written operating authorization apply.
- Document the exact equipment
Collect model-specific certificates, installation manuals, a one-line diagram, site/roof plans, and the battery/inverter pairing if storage is proposed. Check them with the permit authority and utility before ordering.
For the general permitting and inspection process: DOE: Permitting and Inspection for Rooftop Solar .
UL, NEMA, and system acceptance.
Different evidence, different scope.
Check the exact model and approved system configuration. A UL 1973 battery listing or UL 9540A fire-test report does not, by itself, establish UL 9540 certification of a complete storage system.
Open the UL & NEMA referenceScope and system-level certification: UL Solutions: Energy Storage System Testing and Certification .
Official sources.
Open the source for current forms, eligibility, tariffs, and adopted rules. Utility-specific examples apply to that provider.
