The benefits of a solar system are numerous – they can result in lowered energy bills; protect owners from energy rate hikes; extend the life of a roof by shielding the roof from rain, snow, and debris; and most relevant for the real estate industry, solar systems can help a home sell more quickly, and for more money. In fact, according to a 2021 study by Zillow, 67% of potential Buyers ranked energy efficiency as a “very to extremely important” feature for a home, and a study by the US Department of Energy found that Buyers were willing to pay $15,000 or more for solar-powered homes.
