Benefits of Investing in Solar System
- Tax Exemption
Residential solar systems are eligible for a 30% federal tax credit, for now, primarily based on the whole system price. Solar systems also are property tax exempt. They increase the value of your property, but legally it does not increase your property tax.
- Solar panels increase home values
According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, homes with solar panels sold at a higher rate than homes without solar systems over a nine-year term. For a relatively new, average-sized system with a 3,100-watt rating, the average premium for a home with solar panels, was around $17,000. Nearly 100,000 individual solar systems have been installed in California. They are mostly residential, about 90% of them.
“Home with PV installed to act as a market differentiator which boosts the home sales process and gives an advantage to the builders. This might be one of the reasons for the disparity between existing and new homes with PV, a factor not analyzed in the Berkeley Lab study,” says Berkeley Lab researcher and co-author Peter Cappers.
