MI HB5764

Allows electric utility customers to install plug-in photovoltaic systems (small portable solar devices) with up to 1,200 watts maximum output without going through distributed generation program requirements or interconnection approval processes.

Prohibits electric providers from requiring prior approval, charging fees, or mandating additional equipment beyond what is integrated into qualifying plug-in solar systems.

Requires customers to notify their electric provider within 30 days of installation using a commission-developed form that includes service address, inverter capacity, and compliance statement.

Qualifying systems must connect through standard 120-volt outlets, include automatic shutoff during power outages, meet National Electric Code standards, and be certified by Underwriters Laboratories or equivalent testing laboratory.

Electric providers are shielded from liability for any damage or injury caused by customer installation and use of these plug-in solar systems.
