What makes Ann Arbor different.

Ann Arbor is one of Michigan's most sustainability-focused cities. The city has its own A2 Zero climate plan and residents have above-average solar adoption rates. Many homes have already added solar — the conversation here is often about adding battery storage or expanding existing systems.

Ann Arbor's relatively high electricity rates and strong environmental values make solar an easy decision for many homeowners. Battery storage adoption is rising sharply due to growing concerns about grid reliability.

As a Michigan resident, you have access to:

Ann Arbor climate & production
Michigan receives about 3.8 peak sun hours per day. Snow doesn't significantly affect annual solar production — most panels are dark-colored and warm enough to shed snow within hours, and winter months have lower production targets anyway. Summer peak production easily offsets winter.

Roof considerations in Ann Arbor

Michigan's heavy snow loads and ice damming make roof condition especially important for solar. We strongly recommend roof inspection before solar installation. Most Michigan homes have 25-30 year asphalt shingles or metal roofs.

If your roof is over 15 years old, replacing it before solar installation makes financial sense — solar lasts 25-30 years, and you don't want to remove a working solar system to redo shingles. EnergyPros can quote both projects together with combined financing.

Frequently asked questions — Ann Arbor

Does $0-down solar really work in Ann Arbor?
Yes. Ann Arbor residents can access $0-down solar through Michigan's net metering program and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) financing — pay for solar power at a rate lower than your current utility, with no purchase, no loan, no upfront cost. DTE Energy is the primary utility serving most of Ann Arbor, and supports residential net metering.
How much could I save with solar in Ann Arbor?
Average Michigan solar homeowners save about $1280/year. Ann Arbor-specific savings depend on your individual electric bill (city average: $142/month), roof orientation, system size, and the specific financing structure you choose.
How long does solar installation take in Ann Arbor?
From signing your contract to system activation typically takes 4 to 12 weeks in Ann Arbor. Roof inspection and permitting take 2-4 weeks, panel installation is 1-3 days on the day-of, and DTE Energy interconnection plus Permission to Operate (PTO) is the remaining time.
What if my roof needs replacement first?
If your roof needs replacement, EnergyPros can match you with installers who handle both projects — typically with combined financing that fits a single monthly payment. Michigan's heavy snow loads and ice damming make roof condition especially important for solar. We strongly recommend roof inspection before solar installation. Most Michigan homes have 25-30 year asphalt shingles or metal roofs.
