Solar in Taylor
Taylor charges $19.00 for each solar panel, residential or commercial, on its 2025-2026 fee schedule and electrical application, revised July 1, 2025. Its application fee is $50.00 and non-refundable, contractor registration is $28.00, and the residential minimum is $75. Taylor's building department (734-287-6550, per the city's page) issues and inspects Taylor's electrical permits. The MPSC map shows DTE Electric as the electric utility across Taylor. Confirm your own address with DTE.
EGLE's Office of Climate and Energy says it isn't aware of any state or federal program providing solar installation at no cost, and it asks people to read the terms, get more than one quote and protect their personal information. Deceptive solar marketing goes to the Attorney General at 517-335-7622 or MIAG@Michigan.gov. A real Taylor quote carries a permit line built on the city's $19.00 per panel, so ask each company for its panel count and whether it holds the city's contractor registration.
