HB 5764 — Plug-In Solar Device Consumer Access Act
Sponsored by: Rep. Jenn Hill
Introduced
pipeline complete
Passage Likelihood
45%
Introduced but no committee vote yet. Michigan has a Democratic trifecta since 2023. Governor Whitmer is a strong clean energy advocate. Utility opposition from Consumers Energy and DTE is the main risk. Year-round session gives flexibility.
Session Deadline
Year-round (no fixed adjournment)

Expected Timeline
Committee vote possible Spring–Summer 2026. Governor Whitmer expected to sign if passed.
Would exempt certified plug-in solar devices from MPSC interconnection requirements.
If passed: self-install without Consumers Energy or DTE Energy approval.
Law not yet enacted. Michigan utilities currently require interconnection agreements.
Michigan property tax exemption for solar systems up to 150 kW (100% exemption on added home value). Michigan Distributed Generation (net billing) program provides bill credits for excess solar. Lansing Board of Water & Light offers $500/kW solar rebate (up to $2,000 for 4 kW) for LBWL customers. The federal 30% ITC (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025.
