Owning a solar system increases the value of your home. The FHA requires (to homeowners' benefit) the assessed value of the system be added to the total value of a property. Combine this with the money saved from reduced electric bills during decades of use and the value of investing in solar for your home shines through.
Electric usage, current utility rates, and tax incentives determine payback over time. With electric rates constantly increasing, and strong federal incentives, there hasn't been a better time to invest in residential solar.
