Some Michigan farms in the process of adding solar to offset energy use are expanding production to benefit from new clean energy legislation.
Allen Bonthuis with Harvest Solar tells Brownfield farmers can now produce 110 percent of their renewable energy needs and be compensated for more of their production.
“They’ve increased the size of the Distributed Generation Program at which the utilities have to pay for the electricity you send back to the grid from 150 to 550 kilowatts, and that was probably the biggest change out of those seven bills that is really going to impact Michigan farmers,” he explains.
