Solar adds home grid ties as program grows in Michigan
Leach installed 22 solar panels on a 2,500 square foot Grand Haven home and faces a $70,000 system with about 26 percent federal tax credits. She plans monthly payments of $250 for 25 years to PowerHome Solar, aligning with a state distributed generation program backed by Consumers Energy and Holland Board of Public Works. The program aims to expand solar capacity, with 6,000 Consumers Energy customers in the DG program and 10,000 statewide, while customers can opt into renewable-energy rates and offset bills through net metering and grid credits.
