POWER FOR WORKING FAMILIES
Michigan’s energy system isn’t working for working families, who pay the highest energy costs for the worst reliability in the Midwest. It’s time for something different.

What is Community Solar?
MORE ACCESS TO CLEAN ENERGY
The benefits of solar energy shouldn’t just go to wealthy individuals and businesses. Community solar means you don’t have to own acres of land or a big rooftop to get those benefits. Just like a Netflix subscription, customers can easily sign up and reduce their electricity costs by directly benefiting from locally generated solar energy.
MORE COST SAVINGS AND MORE JOBS
Community solar creates more energy competition, driving down prices for customers. It’s that simple. And with guaranteed bill savings for subscribers, Michigan can put more money in the pockets of families who need it most. Community solar is already creating tens of thousands of jobs in 19 states across the country. These jobs help create a stronger, more resilient energy grid for everyone.
PROTECTING PURE MICHIGAN
Community solar helps preserve Michigan’s natural landscape, with local control over siting and a smaller footprint that allows landowners to continue to work their land while adding income from a small portion of their property. Private, proactive investment in the grid supports the construction of these projects, upgrades power lines to be more robust, and saves utilities from using ratepayer funds for these upgrades. These improvements strengthen our infrastructure to avoid electric outages and add to overall grid resiliency.
