When it comes to selling your home, the addition of whole house solar helps to increase the overall price of the property.  According to an 8 year study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, houses that have whole house solar on average sell for $17,000 more than houses without solar systems.  This advantage, as well as receiving incentives for both federal and state tax credit, usually allows homeowners to pay of their solar system and receive a profit when selling their home.  Because houses with solar sell for a higher price, there is a greater return on investment that benefits the homeowners selling their property.  Solar systems increase the value of a house and save homeowners money on their energy bills, as well as provide a sustainable living environment.  Even if you have not lived in the house long enough to pay of the solar system, the increase in property value will pay off the remaining equity.  On the other hand, living in the house long enough to pay of the initial price of the solar system will allow you to make a profit once the money invested in the system has been recovered.  The benefits of incentives and the increase in property value make right now the perfect time to install whole house solar, so what are you waiting for?
