Solar Currents

SolarCurrentsTM makes solar energy up to 50% more affordable for customers who purchase and install a solar photovoltaic (PV) system on their home or business. 

SolarCurrents is a new pilot program offered by Detroit Edison. It’s designed to reduce:

  • The installed cost of a solar PV system
  • Reduce monthly electricity costs for 20 years
  • Reduce the carbon footprint of a home or business

Detroit Edison has been authorized by the Michigan Public Service Commission to partially reimburse customers for installing solar PV systems, up to $25 million in total. 

Participants receive a generous payment upon installation, as well as a credit on their energy bills for the next 20 years.  This is in addition to federal tax credits and any other local incentives from the state, county, or municipality!  

In return, Detroit Edison receives all rights to any Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) allocated to that renewable generation. It’s all part of our commitment to develop more sources of clean, renewable energy for Michigan.
