Unlike remodeling your kitchen or bathrooms a solar installation increases the value of your home immediately and is not subject to preference or taste. Determining the increased value to your home is easy. As electrical and home heating cost rise your solar system increases in value because the savings from your solar system reduce living cost every month.
Home owners who sell their residence with a solar installation can determine how much they have saved by producing their own energy. By looking at the current rate for electrical or home heating fuel costs at the time of selling they can quantify the value of the system every year and estimate the savings into the future. And because solar systems have no moving parts and are built to withstand all types of weather you can be sure savings and value will continue to increase throughout the life of the panel.
