The MI Solar for All program (MI SFA) will support solar development for thousands of households in low-income and disadvantaged communities across Michigan through direct financial assistance for rooftop solar, community solar, energy storage, and enabling upgrades, as well as workforce development, community outreach, and technical assistance opportunities.
Residential households participating in MI SFA are expected to receive a benefit equivalent to an average 20% reduction on their electricity bill.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) $7 billion Solar for All (SFA) competition awarded 60 grants to U.S. states, territories, tribal governments, municipalities, and eligible nonprofits. It helps to expand the number of low-income and disadvantaged communities primed for distributed solar investment, enabling millions of households to access affordable, resilient, and clean solar energy.
Michigan received $156 million for MI Solar for All. The MI SFA program will be designed with input from interested parties.
