Solar Today, Higher Home Value Tomorrow
When homeowners invest in solar, they often focus on lower electric bills and protection from rising utility costs. But did you know solar can increase the value of your home when it comes time to sell? New research from home energy intelligence company 257 found that homes with rooftop solar sold for an average of 2% more when solar was highlighted in the listing; about $10,000 on a median-priced home.
At Stateline Solar, we’ve helped numerous customers successfully navigate the process of selling a home with solar and transferring ownership to the new homeowner. For homeowners who received SREC incentives, transferring the solar system to the new homeowner is a critical step. Doing so helps preserve the incentives and helps the original homeowner avoid any potential incentive repayment obligations. Our team works closely with buyers, sellers, and realtors to ensure a smooth transition and answer any questions about the system.
To those who have recently purchased a home with solar—welcome to the benefits of renewable energy! Your system is designed to generate clean electricity, reduce dependence on utility power, and help protect against future rate increases.
Whether you’re installing solar, selling a solar-powered home, or moving into one, Stateline Solar is here to help you maximize the value of your investment.
