Solar Financing Options in Detroit: what to expect
Solar financing options in Detroit usually come down to four paths: paying cash, a dedicated solar loan, a home equity loan or line of credit, or third-party ownership such as a lease where you pay for the system or its power over time. Each changes who owns the equipment, who claims any incentives, and what happens when you sell your house in Wayne, Oakland or Macomb counties.
Tax rules have changed. The IRS states that the residential clean energy credit is not allowed for expenditures made after December 31, 2025, so be wary of any pitch built on a federal tax credit for a new home system. Ask a tax professional about your situation.
Read loan terms carefully, including dealer fees built into the price. Compare home equity loans from lenders, and compare Detroit solar installers.

Permits and interconnection in Michigan
Financing does not change the permit path: the system still needs a Michigan electrical permit and utility interconnection approval before it runs. Confirm the installer, not the finance company, is responsible for both.
Credits for exported power come from the MPSC distributed generation program as set in your utility's tariff. Treat any savings projection as an estimate and check its assumptions.
