Think solar is too expensive without tax credits? Michigan Saves offers fixed-rate loans starting at 6.24% APR — up to $100,000, up to 15 years, no prepayment penalties. Your monthly loan payment can be less than what DTE charges you now. DTE's net billing program credits you for excess energy your panels produce. Up to approximately $2,700 per year in bill savings — and Michigan law protects you from property tax increases when you add solar.

Myth: Adding solar panels raises your property taxes in Michigan. Fact: Michigan law prevents your property taxes from increasing when you install residential solar. Your home value goes up; your tax bill stays the same. And since April 2025, the Homeowners' Energy Policy Act means your HOA can't block your installation either. No expired credits needed — just smart Michigan law that protects your investment.

When DTE's grid goes down, your lights go out. It happened last summer. It'll happen again. Solar paired with battery storage means your home keeps running when the grid doesn't. Stop depending on a utility that can't guarantee your power. Take control of your energy — and keep your family comfortable no matter what DTE does.

Colorado homeowners: Xcel Energy's Solar*Rewards program pays up to $10,000 back on your solar installation — that's approximately $1 per watt of installed capacity. Stack that with Colorado's full sales tax exemption on solar equipment and a property tax exemption that keeps your assessment unchanged. Even without the expired federal credit, payback is approximately 6-10 years. Lease and PPA options may offer even lower monthly payments.

Take the 30-second quiz to see your savings.

Every kilowatt-hour your solar panels send to the Xcel grid gets credited at 100% of the retail rate. Credits roll over indefinitely in your Solar Bank — no expiration, no annual true-up at wholesale. That means your summer overproduction covers your winter bills. Combine with Xcel's Solar*Rewards rebate and Colorado's tax exemptions for approximately $2,000-$3,000 per year in savings.

Payback in approximately 6-10 years, with energy independence for decades.

Your summer electricity bill is coming. Last year, Colorado homeowners saw their highest bills during A/C season — and Xcel rates aren't going down. Solar locks in your costs before summer hits. Xcel's Solar*Rewards program (up to $10,000 back) is currently accepting applications, but funding is allocated monthly and capacity is limited. The time to act is before summer, not during it.
