Balcony Solar in Michigan
Michigan's HB 5764 covers small portable solar generation devices. It was referred to the House Energy Committee in March 2026.
Reviewed August 6, 2026 against primary sources. Laws change — the sources below let you re-check.
Would Michigan's bill require UL 3700?
No — the bill does not name UL 3700.
Per secondary sources, requires NEC compliance and anti-islanding; not confirmed verbatim. Does not name UL 3700.
Why this matters: “certified by UL” names an organization; “certified to UL 3700” names a plug-in-PV standard. They are not the same claim. Full explainer →
What's still unsettled
- Referred to the House Energy Committee (March 2026); not yet law.
- Certification wording is secondary-sourced.
Before you buy in Michigan
This bill is not law yet — until it passes and takes effect, Michigan's existing utility and electrical rules apply. Even once it passes, the gear has to actually be certified to what the law asks, and today no plug-in kit sold in the US carries UL 3700 yet. What "UL 3700 certified" really means →
