Despite the cold Michigan winters, the sun still shines and going solar has proven to be a great investment in the Great Lakes state. For over a decade, Harvest Solar has been helping Michiganders save money on their electric bills. With hundreds of solar energy systems and several MW of solar capacity installed, Harvest Solar is a staple of solar energy in Michigan. Michigan utilities (primarily Consumers Energy and DTE) charge the highest electric rates in the Midwest and some of the highest rates in the country. With a solar energy system, you can replace the energy you would buy from the electric company with energy made right at your farm or business. This allows you to own your power. With accelerated depreciation available for businesses, grants for farmers and nonprofits, favorable utility policies, and new solar property tax exemptions, solar energy makes more financial sense than ever.  ![A small solar farm in Michigan.](https://harvestsolar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Michigan.jpg?width=2000&height=1125&name=Michigan.jpg "A small solar farm in Michigan.")
