Michigan HB5764 regulates small portable solar generation devices, exempting them from certain requirements.

Michigan HB5764 amends the state's energy code to allow customers to install and use plug-in photovoltaic systems, exempting them from distributed generation and interconnection requirements. These systems must have a maximum power output of 1,200 watts, connect through a standard 120-volt outlet, and prevent energizing the electrical system during power outages. Customers must notify their electric provider within 30 days of installation. The Michigan Public Service Commission will develop a notice form for this purpose.
