DTE and Ford to Install a $5.8 Million Solar Panel System at Plant in Wayn

DTE Energy in partnership with Ford, working to install a solar panel system at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne. According to them, this installation will reduce the company's energy bill with about $160,000 per year.

This $5.8-million solar panel project will capture enough energy to power more than 100 Michigan homes per year. Ford claims, the project will be the largest use of alternative power for any of the automaker's plants in the U.S and state's largest solar power generation systems.

DTE is also planning in the next five years to install enough solar panels on customer property to produce 15MW of clean energy throughout southeastern Michigan.
