Michigan residents interested in adding solar power to their energy mix can soon do so right on their utility bills.

That’s the goal of a Consumers Energy residential solar pilot program which launches later this year.

As part of that program, the Jackson-based utility will construct a seven-to-14 acre solar array in West Michigan, on land owned by Grand Valley State University. 

Consumers Energy senior information officer Roger Morgenstern tells WGVU’s Hilary Farrell about the pilot program - and how the company looks to leverage the desire of clean energy with the demands of a practical business model.
