Solar Energy Systems Add to the Value of Your Home


There is some interesting information for people who are interested in solar energy. Many people when thinking about solar energy don't think about is how the installation of a solar system impacts the value of your house.

According to a study done by the Appraisal Institute which is an organization for professional appraisers, solar systems do have a positive impact on the value of the property.

The Appraisal Institute estimate that for that for every dollar of saving that a system produces annually, it adds twenty to the value of the house. For instance if your system generates a saving of 500.00 annually, then you can expect it to increase the value of your home by $10,000.

This is another consideration when looking at the affordability and the economics of going to solar for your energy needs.
