A solar power system is an investment that can increase the property value of your home.
The sun provides more than enough energy in just one hour to supply our planet’s energy needs for an entire year. Your home can capture this free, abundant energy source through rooftop solar panels or tiles, turning sunlight into electricity for immediate use or storage in a battery.
Solar technology is developing fast, with new breakthroughs all the time: higher efficiencies, lower cost, easier installations. It’s exciting to be a part of this technological, green movement.
Given the constant nature of the sun, solar power is a very reliable energy source, as our ability to harvest it is dependent on just technology and location.
Getting shiny new appliances or polished marble counters in the bathroom might look great, but they don’t necessarily add an equal value to your home. In other words, spending $2000 on countertops might not add the full $2000 in value to your home.
With solar installations though, not only do you cut your electricity bill, but there are many people willing to spend a premium for homes with solar, around $4 per watt on average (as long as the installation is owned by the homeowner herself). This means a 5kW installation you purchase outright can add an additional $20,000 to the value of your home! In addition, most states have property tax exemptions when you install solar, allowing you to bypass any higher taxes because of the added value your solar installation brings to your property.
