Governor Whitmer enacted a new law that restricts homeowners associations (HOAs) in Michigan from imposing bans on rooftop solar panels and home EV charging stations. This legislation is a significant advancement for homeowners seeking to contribute to environmental sustainability and reduce energy costs.

Prior to this law, many HOAs had the authority to deny residents the ability to install solar panels or EV charging infrastructure, hindering the adoption of green technologies. The new legislation ensures that property owners have the right to implement these eco-friendly solutions, aligning with Michigan’s broader objectives to promote renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions.

By removing these barriers, the state encourages more widespread use of solar energy and electric vehicles, fostering a cleaner environment and supporting the transition to a sustainable energy future. This law not only benefits individual homeowners but also contributes to community resilience and energy independence.

Governor Whitmer’s action reflects a commitment to empowering citizens to make environmentally conscious choices and demonstrates leadership in advancing policies that facilitate the adoption of renewable energy technologies across Michigan.
