Panel Permits
Solar panel installations on Flint homes require permits under the Michigan Single State Construction Code (MCL 125.1501 et seq., PA 230 of 1972) — specifically a building permit for roof-mount structural review and an electrical permit for the photovoltaic system interconnection. Michigan's renewable energy and distributed generation framework is set by the Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act (MCL 460.1001 et seq., PA 295 of 2008 as amended by PA 235 of 2016 and PA 235 of 2023), which authorizes the Michigan Public Service Commission to regulate net metering and distributed generation programs. Consumers Energy and DTE Electric tariffs filed with the MPSC govern interconnection. Michigan has no comprehensive solar rights act preempting HOA restrictions.
