Michigan's diverse energy future is set in motion. Utility companies continue to expand their solar options and other forms of renewable energy. The shift in the utility sector from centralized power generation to a higher number of accessory and principal use solar energy systems (SES) means nearly every jurisdiction in Michigan will be approached about a solar installation within the next few years.
Developed by MSU Extension experts and the MSU School of Planning, Design and Construction in partnership with faculty at the University of Michigan Graham Sustainability Institute, this free, downloadable .pdf guide will help Michigan communities meet the challenge of becoming solar-ready by addressing SES within their planning policies and zoning regulations.
