Enact Community Solar in Michigan

The purpose of this campaign is to enact into law, a Community Solar policy, that would enable residents that live in an apartment, or whose home isn't suitable for rooftop solar, or can't afford the full up-front cost of installing a solar energy system, to be able to buy or subscribe to solar panels located at a Community Solar array, and the electricity produced by those panels would then be credited back to where the person lives.

The purpose of this campaign is to enact into law, a Community Solar policy, that would enable residents that live in an apartment, or whose home isn't suitable for rooftop solar, or can't afford the full up-front cost of installing a solar energy system, to be able to buy or subscribe to solar panels located at a Community Solar array, and the electricity produced by those panels would then be credited back to where the person lives.

Community Solar enables all people and business to have the option of being able to purchase lower costing solar electricity to save money and contribute to a cleaner environment.

The first step is to get two bills enacted in the MI House of Representatives - House Bill 4464 by Rep. Hood and House Bill 4465 by Rep. John Roth. These bills are up for a vote today - Friday December 13, 2024 so we need everybody to contact their MI Representative and urge their support!

I'm asking you to send an email or call your State Representative today - Friday December 13 to urge their support for Community Solar.

The Speaker of the House Rep. Joe Tate (Detroit) has put the two Community Solar bills on the Agenda for the full House. These bills are House Bill 4464 by Rep. Rachel Hood (Grand Rapids) and House Bill 4465 by Rep. John Roth (Interlochen). They both have to pass.

This is a huge opportunity to enact Community Solar into law. I need you to send an email in support or call your State Representative office to urge their support.

The message is simple: by enacting Community Solar, every home owner will now have an opportunity to purchase lower costing solar electricity that will save them money on their electric bill, by not having to buy really expensive electricity from DTE, Consumers Energy or the other utilities. And by buying solar electricity you are helping to promote a clean environment.

So please send the email or call today!

Just type in your home address to get the name of your State Representative, and then write the email. There is a email message already written, that you can use but please personalize the email if you can.
