The Michigan Sunshot Initiative aims to transform the rooftop solar market by promoting solar technology and establishing best practices for permitting and interconnection. It is part of a national effort by the DOE to make solar energy cost-competitive by 2020 and improve U.S. energy security and economic competitiveness. The initiative requires collaboration among various stakeholders, including government, utilities, and solar companies, and focuses on addressing market barriers and reducing non-hardware costs.
