STUDY FINDS THAT INSTALLING SOLAR ON HOME INCREASES ITS VALUE

A recent report from Lawrence BerkeleyNational Laboratory found that a new solar array installed on a home leads to anincreased home value by more than $5500 per kilowatt installed. This premium would, inmost cases, more than cover the cost of system. The study, done in California, found that solar systems are one of the best investments for homeowners. “Current state and federal incentives for solar systems remain attractive which makes it agreat time for homeowners to make an investment that will save money and add equity”commented Barry Moore, President of Moore Energy. Based on this study, home ownerscan feel confident that an investment in a solar system will have an immediate energysavings and they will be able to easily recover their investment if they choose to sell theirhome at a future date.A copy of the Lawrence Berkley study can be found at: http://www.mooreenergy.net/solar-installation/home-value/
