Jump Directly to the Part of Your Solar Problem That Matters Most

Michigan solar disputes can turn on distributed-generation tariffs, legacy net-metering status, utility outflow credits, cancellation rules for in-home sales or financed home improvements, contractor licensing, financing, and what the homeowner was promised. Use the shortcuts below to jump directly to the issue you need to review.

Common Michigan Solar Problems

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

Solar problems do not always begin and end with the installer. The salesperson, dealer, lender, loan servicer, electric utility, equipment manufacturer, and installation contractor may all play different roles.

You Want to Cancel a Recently Signed Solar Agreement

Michigan does not give a blanket right to cancel every contract, but specific cancellation rules can apply. The Attorney General says home-solicitation sales can carry a three-business-day cancellation period, while certain financed home-improvement contracts can carry a one-business-day cancellation period. The transaction structure and contract language matter.

  • Find the signed agreement and cancellation notice
  • Identify where and how the sale was solicited
  • Determine whether payments were to be made over time to the contractor

Your Export Credits Do Not Match the Sales Pitch

Michigan replaced traditional net metering for new customers with distributed-generation programs that separate electricity flowing into the home from electricity exported to the grid. The MPSC has explained that DG outflow generation can be credited at a lower rate, making on-site use more valuable than a salesperson may have implied.

  • Review the utility DG tariff and bill credits
  • Compare inflow and outflow treatment
  • Check whether the proposal assumed full-retail credit for every exported kilowatt-hour
Michigan MPSC Distributed GenerationMPSC DG Program Report Summary

You Were Told You Had Traditional Net Metering

Some Michigan customers remain in legacy net metering for a limited period, but new customers generally participate in the distributed-generation framework. The MPSC says legacy customers can continue under the old program guidelines for 10 years from the date they enrolled.

  • Identify the original enrollment date
  • Confirm whether the account is legacy net metering or DG
  • Compare the actual tariff with the sales explanation

The Contractor or Salesperson Licensing Raises Questions

Michigan licenses residential builders, maintenance-and-alteration contractors, and residential builder salespersons through LARA. The state also separately regulates skilled trades such as electrical work. A solar review should confirm which licenses were required for the actual work performed rather than assume one license covered everything.

  • Verify the contractor or builder license
  • Check salesperson licensing where applicable
  • Confirm separate electrical licensing for electrical work
Michigan LARA Residential BuildersMichigan LARA Helpful Information for Homeowners

Solar Is Delaying a Home Sale or Refinance

A Michigan solar loan, lease, PPA, payoff requirement, transfer condition, or UCC financing statement can create questions during a sale or refinance. The Secretary of State explains that UCC financing statements provide public notice of a security interest in collateral, which is different from automatically treating every solar filing as a mortgage on the entire home.

  • Identify whether the system is owned, financed, leased, or under a PPA
  • Get payoff, buyout, or transfer requirements
  • Review any UCC filing and collateral description directly

We compare the sales proposal, signed agreements, utility tariff, interconnection records, cancellation notices, contractor credentials, financing, and timeline.

03

Identify the Practical Next Steps

The next step may involve the utility, MPSC, Attorney General, LARA, lender, title company, tax professional, attorney, or another qualified professional depending on the facts.

Why Michigan Solar Problems Are Different

Michigan Combines Utility-Specific Distributed Generation With Multiple Consumer Contract Rules

Michigan moved away from traditional net metering for new customers and into a distributed-generation framework where utility tariffs determine how imported and exported electricity is valued. That difference is central to many savings disputes.

Michigan also has multiple cancellation frameworks rather than one universal solar cancellation statute. Home-solicitation sales and certain financed home-improvement contracts can have different deadlines and notice requirements, so the facts of the sale matter.

On top of that, Michigan uses several licensing systems for residential construction, salespersons, and skilled electrical work. A useful contract review therefore looks at the utility tariff, contract, financing, cancellation notice, and contractor credentials together.

110%Maximum eligible generation capacity relative to the customer's prior 12-month electricity consumption
23,910Michigan distributed-generation customers reported for calendar year 2024

Start With the Electric Utility

Michigan Uses a Statewide DG Framework, but the Actual Credit Is Implemented Through the Utility Tariff

Michigan regulated utilities filed updated distributed-generation tariffs to implement Public Act 235, and the MPSC approved those tariffs in March 2025. The homeowner still needs the specific utility tariff, interconnection record, and bill history to understand what happened on the account.

DTE Electric

DTE serves a large share of Michigan rooftop-solar customers. A review should compare the current distributed-generation tariff, interconnection status, outflow-credit treatment, and the customer's actual bills with the installer proposal.

Consumers Energy

Consumers Energy is the other major Michigan utility for rooftop solar. The same basic review applies: interconnection, utility tariff, actual annual production, household usage, and the proposal's assumptions about exported energy.

Other Michigan Utilities

Indiana Michigan Power, UPPCO, UMERC, Alpena Power, Northern States Power, municipal utilities, and cooperatives can use different tariffs or local rules. The MPSC framework does not mean every Michigan bill looks the same.

Why this matters:Michigan homeowners should not assume that “net metering” means every exported kilowatt-hour receives the same value as electricity purchased from the utility.

How Michigan Distributed Generation Works

Michigan Solar Billing Separates What You Use From What You Export

Michigan's distributed-generation model is one of the most important state-specific issues to understand. The homeowner can reduce utility purchases by using solar on-site, but exported generation is governed by the utility's outflow-credit tariff rather than a simple assumption that every exported kilowatt-hour receives the full retail rate.

Michigan MPSC Distributed GenerationMPSC DG Program Growth Report

On-Site Solar Use Can Be More Valuable

The MPSC has noted that because DG outflow generation can receive a lower credit, it can be advantageous for customers to use more of the energy they generate on-site.

Outflow Credits Are Utility-Specific

The exact credit calculation comes from the utility tariff. That means DTE, Consumers Energy, and other Michigan utilities should be reviewed using the actual current tariff rather than a generic statewide savings assumption.

Interconnection Still Comes First

A customer must properly interconnect a distributed-generation project before operating it. The interconnection file can help confirm system size, approval timing, and the utility program the customer actually entered.

The Sales Proposal May Use Different Assumptions

A common dispute starts when the proposal assumes a higher value for exported energy than the utility ultimately credits. The proposal and tariff should be compared line by line.

For a Michigan DG or High-Bill Problem, Review These Items

  • Electric utility and service territory
  • Interconnection application and approval
  • Distributed-generation tariff or rider
  • Monthly utility bills before and after solar
  • Inflow and outflow credit lines
  • Annual household electricity consumption
  • System size and annual production estimate
  • Proposal savings estimate and export-value assumptions

Legacy Net Metering vs. Distributed Generation

Some Michigan Homeowners Still Have Legacy Net Metering, but Newer Customers Usually Do Not

Michigan's 2016 energy-law update required the MPSC to phase out the former net-metering program and replace it with distributed generation. Once a utility's DG program took effect, new customers could no longer enroll in the old net-metering program.

Existing net-metering customers were allowed to continue under legacy net-metering guidelines for 10 years from the day they enrolled. That means two neighbors with similar solar systems can have different bill-credit treatment simply because they enrolled at different times.

When a salesperson describes a Michigan system as “net metered,” the homeowner should confirm whether that is actually legacy net metering or merely loose sales language for a newer DG arrangement.

MPSC DG Program Growth Report

For a Michigan Legacy Net-Metering Question, Review These Items

  • Original net-metering or DG enrollment date
  • Utility tariff in effect when the customer enrolled
  • Current legacy-program expiration date if applicable
  • Any system expansion or modification after enrollment
  • How the salesperson described the credit structure
  • Current bill credits and annual treatment
↑ Back to Page Guide

Michigan 2023 DG Expansion

Public Act 235 Expanded Michigan Distributed Generation, but It Did Not Restore Simple Retail Net Metering

Michigan Public Act 235 made the distributed-generation program much larger. The minimum program size for regulated utilities increased from 1% to 10% of average five-year in-state peak load.

The law also increased eligible DG project size up to 550 kW and allows customer generation capacity up to 110% of the customer's electricity consumption for the previous 12 months. Utilities filed updated tariffs, which the MPSC approved in March 2025.

Those changes expand access, but they do not mean every homeowner receives traditional full-retail net metering. The utility tariff still matters for the economic value of exported power.

Michigan MPSC Distributed GenerationMPSC Distributed Generation and Interconnection Workgroup

Why Public Act 235 Matters to Homeowners

  • Whether the project was sized using the customer's prior 12-month consumption
  • Whether the system exceeds the customer-specific eligibility limit
  • Which updated utility DG tariff applies
  • Whether the sales proposal accurately described the tariff
  • Whether a system expansion changed the customer's status

Michigan Consumer Protections

Michigan Contract Rights Depend on How the Solar Sale Was Made and Financed

Michigan's Attorney General cautions that consumers do not have a general right to cancel most contracts. Instead, cancellation rights come from specific laws and transaction types.

For solar, two frameworks can be especially relevant. A sale solicited in the home can fall under the Home Solicitation Sales Act, while certain home-improvement transactions where the consumer agrees to make payments over time to the contractor can fall under the Home Improvement Finance Act.

Because the deadlines differ, homeowners should not rely on a generic “three-day rule” without checking the agreement, the place of sale, the financing structure, and the notice language.

Michigan AG Contract Cancellation InformationMichigan AG Consumer Protection FAQ

For a Michigan Contract Problem, Review These Items

  • Where the sale was solicited
  • Date the contract was signed
  • Whether the contractor financed payments over time
  • Cancellation notice included with the contract
  • Any written cancellation attempt
  • Deposit or payment collected before cancellation
  • Sales representations about cancellation rights
Michigan is a state where the exact transaction structure matters. A home-solicitation sale and a financed home-improvement contract can have different cancellation deadlines.
↑ Back to Page Guide

Michigan Cancellation Rights

Michigan Can Have a Three-Day Rule or a One-Day Rule, Depending on the Transaction

The Michigan Attorney General says a home-solicitation sale can generally be canceled within three business days by delivering or mailing written notice to the seller. That can matter when a solar salesperson solicited the agreement at the homeowner's residence.

The Attorney General also explains that certain contracts covered by the Home Improvement Finance Act can have a one-business-day cancellation period when the contract is for home improvement and the consumer agrees to make payments to the contractor over time.

These rules can be technical, so the safest review is to identify which law applies and preserve proof of every cancellation attempt.

Michigan AG Contract Cancellation Information

What to Look For

  • Home solicitation or another sales method
  • Date the contract was signed
  • Whether payments were owed over time to the contractor
  • Written cancellation notice and mailing proof
  • Contract instructions for cancellation
  • Whether the seller failed to provide required cancellation information
Do not assume every Michigan solar contract has the same cancellation period. The Attorney General expressly distinguishes the three-business-day home-solicitation rule from the one-business-day home-improvement financing rule.

Contractor and Salesperson Licensing

Michigan Solar Work Can Involve Residential Builder, Salesperson, and Skilled-Trade Licensing

Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance-and-alteration contractors through LARA. The state's homeowner guidance says contractors offering work totaling $600 or more in labor and materials generally must be licensed, subject to the scope of the licensing laws.

Michigan also licenses residential builder salespersons, and electrical work is separately regulated as a skilled trade. A rooftop-solar project can therefore involve multiple licensing questions depending on who sold the work and who performed the installation.

The correct review is not simply “is the company licensed?” It is whether the person or company held the license required for the work and role they actually performed.

Michigan LARA Residential BuildersMichigan LARA Helpful Information for HomeownersMichigan LARA Licensing Section

A Michigan Residential Solar Project Can Involve

  • Solar salesperson or marketing company
  • Residential builder or maintenance-and-alteration contractor
  • Residential builder salesperson
  • Electrical contractor or electrician
  • Third-party system owner for a lease or PPA
  • Finance company or loan servicer
  • Electric utility
  • Michigan LARA
  • Michigan Attorney General Consumer Protection Team
  • Title company or mortgage lender if the home is being sold or refinanced

These roles may be split among several companies, which is why the signed agreement, license records, and utility paperwork should be sorted before conclusions are drawn.

Financing and Savings Assumptions

Michigan Solar Financing Problems Often Start With an Overstated Export-Credit Assumption

A solar loan can look affordable on paper when the proposal assumes high utility savings. In Michigan, that calculation is especially sensitive to how much solar is used on-site versus exported under the distributed-generation tariff.

If the salesperson assumed every exported kilowatt-hour would offset utility purchases at the same value, the projected savings may not match the actual DG tariff. Financing terms can then become much harder to carry than expected.

A useful review compares the loan agreement, proposal, production estimate, household usage, utility tariff, and actual bill credits instead of treating the financing payment as a standalone problem.

  • Loan agreement and monthly payment
  • Dealer or financing fees
  • Proposal savings estimate
  • Expected annual production
  • Expected on-site consumption versus exports
  • Current utility bill history
  • Any claim that utility savings would cover the payment
Good Michigan review question: Did the proposal model the actual DG outflow credit, or did it quietly assume old-style retail net metering?

Tax Credit and Exemption Claims

Do Not Confuse Michigan Utility-Scale Solar Tax Programs With Homeowner Rooftop Incentives

The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is no longer available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025 under current IRS guidance. That matters for any 2026 sales pitch that still assumes the homeowner will receive the former 30% federal credit.

Michigan also has a Solar Energy Facility Exemption, but the Department of Treasury describes it as a program for qualified utility-scale solar facilities of at least 2 megawatts. It should not be presented to a typical homeowner as a rooftop-solar property-tax exemption.

Any proposal that relied on a federal credit or vaguely described a Michigan “solar tax exemption” should be compared directly to the official eligibility rules.

  • System placed-in-service date
  • Any federal tax-credit amount used in the proposal
  • Any Michigan tax-exemption claim made by the salesperson
  • Whether the claimed program actually applies to residential rooftop solar
  • Whether financing assumptions depended on a tax benefit
Current federal rule: the Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Michigan's Solar Energy Facility Exemption is a utility-scale facility program, not a standard rooftop-homeowner exemption.

Selling or Refinancing With Solar

Michigan UCC Filings Can Create Questions During a Home Sale, but the Filing Itself Must Be Read Correctly

Michigan's Secretary of State explains that a UCC financing statement gives public notice of a security interest in collateral. Solar lenders or system owners may use UCC filings in ways that create questions for a title company or mortgage lender.

The filing should be reviewed directly because the collateral description matters. Michigan also distinguishes UCC filings from mortgages and certain fixture filings handled through county Registers of Deeds.

A homeowner selling or refinancing should gather the solar agreement, financing documents, payoff or transfer requirements, and any UCC filing before the closing process gets stuck.

  • Owned, financed, leased, or PPA structure
  • Transfer, assignment, or assumption terms
  • Payoff or buyout quote
  • UCC financing statement and collateral description
  • Any county fixture filing if applicable
  • What the title company, lender, or buyer is requesting
Michigan Secretary of State UCCMichigan UCC FAQ

If the Solar Company Closed

A Michigan Solar Problem Does Not End Just Because the Installer or Sales Company Disappeared

If the installer or sales company closed or stopped responding, the homeowner should still gather the signed contracts, utility records, warranties, monitoring data, loan or lease records, and any assignment or servicing notices. The utility tariff and financing obligations can continue even after the seller disappears.

Michigan solar problems can usually still be sorted into the right bucket: DG billing issue, legacy net-metering question, contractor problem, cancellation dispute, financing issue, or home-sale problem. Organizing the documents is the first step toward understanding the next move.

  • Who sold the project
  • Who installed the project
  • Who currently services the loan, lease, or PPA
  • Who holds the workmanship and equipment warranties
  • Whether the utility account is still crediting properly
  • Any closure, assignment, or servicer notices

Michigan Solar Contract FAQs

Questions Michigan Homeowners Are Asking

The answer often depends on the agreement, financing, timing, utility, project status, and specific facts.

Start My Free Review
Can I cancel a solar contract in Michigan?

Sometimes, but Michigan does not provide one universal cancellation right for every solar contract. The Attorney General says home-solicitation sales can have a three-business-day cancellation period, while certain financed home-improvement contracts can have a one-business-day cancellation period. The transaction and contract need to be reviewed.

Michigan AG Contract Cancellation Information
Does Michigan still have net metering for solar?

Michigan phased out the former net-metering program for new customers and replaced it with distributed generation. Existing legacy net-metering customers can remain under the old program guidelines for 10 years from enrollment, while newer customers generally use DG tariffs.

MPSC DG Program Growth Report
How large can a Michigan distributed-generation system be?

The MPSC says Public Act 235 increased eligible distributed-generation project size up to 550 kW and allows eligible generation capacity up to 110% of the customer's electricity consumption for the previous 12 months.

Michigan MPSC Distributed Generation
Why is my Michigan solar export credit lower than I expected?

Michigan's distributed-generation programs can credit exported or outflow energy at a lower value than electricity used on-site. The exact credit comes from the utility tariff, so the proposal should be compared with the current DTE, Consumers Energy, or other applicable utility schedule.

Michigan MPSC Distributed GenerationMPSC DG Program Growth Report
Do Michigan solar contractors need a license?

Licensing depends on the role and work performed. Michigan licenses residential builders, maintenance-and-alteration contractors, residential builder salespersons, and skilled electrical trades. LARA's homeowner guidance says contractors offering residential work totaling $600 or more in labor and materials generally must be licensed.

Michigan LARA Helpful Information for Homeowners
Can a solar UCC filing affect a Michigan home sale or refinance?

Yes. A UCC financing statement is public notice of a security interest in collateral and can trigger questions from a title company or mortgage lender. The actual filing and collateral description should be reviewed rather than assuming it is automatically a mortgage on the entire home.
