Does solar affect my home’s value?

One of the biggest worries we hear from homeowners is, “What if I move before my solar system is paid off?” Good news: installing solar can actually boost your home’s resale value and make it more attractive to buyers. After all, who doesn’t love the idea of zero electric bills and no power outages?

The Data AgreesOn average, homes with solar panels sell for 4-5% more than those without, according to studies by Zillow and NREL. Buyers value lower utility bills and energy independence, making solar a strong investment for home resale. In a state like Colorado, where most of the geography gets 300 days of sun per year, the math is simple. The data shows us that buyers recognize the long-term savings that come with rooftop solar, especially if your system includes an integrated battery (like Sundog Solar does by default). Plus, Sundog Solar’s 25 Year Service & Materials Warranty stays with the house no matter who owns it!

Handling the SaleIf you’ve financed your Sundog Solar & Battery system, there are a couple of options. You could pay off the loan at closing using the increased value of your home, or the buyer may take over the remainder if you both agree. In many cases, buyers are excited to acquire a home that’s already providing energy independence.

Home Energy ‘WOW’ FactorSolar panels (and the battery backup) make your listing stand out. People see the gleaming rooftop array and think, “Fantastic, I can skip big utility bills!” A solar-powered home has that extra spark of appeal.
