Solar Panels Impact The Value Of Your Property
Adding a solar system to your home has many benefits and is a great investment for any California homeowner. Solar panels not only reduce your monthly energy bill, but they also increase the value of your home by an average of over 4%. Additionally, homeowners with solar reduce their carbon footprint and minimize their environmental impact, which decreases their dependency on California's overextended electricity grid. By having solar and even a home battery backup system, a homeowner can feel secure knowing their home is energy independent. Many home buyers are looking for solar already installed before buying a new home and are willing to pay a premium to ensure their carbon footprint is low. As solar technology advances and prices decrease it is becoming more desirable for buyers everywhere.
We are headed into an unknown future of warmer weather and a rising cost of living, and we must do everything we can to help the environment and protect our hard-earned income. I believe solar will be a common place fixture on most homes in the near future. There is currently a federal tax credit that lasts through 2021 helping homeowners install and pay for solar which has never made it more desirable to bring your house into the green movement. Solar is here to stay and that is apparent in the demand from home buyers.
