Solar adds lasting value to your home

Installing a solar power system is one of the best ways to add value to your home because, unlike many other home improvements, solar starts paying you back from day one. Research also shows that this electricity savings translates directly into an increase in resale value because the buyers know they will save money, be protected from rising rates and will reduce their impact on the environment. According to U.S. Department of Energy, a solar home not only sells for more, but also sells twice as fast as a home without solar.

• The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development states that homes with solar rise an average of $20 for every $1 reduction in annual electricity bills.
