Seattle Solar Power - Increases Home Value

Solar in Seattle has many benefits. Your home uses less energy from the utility because you are replacing that energy with solar energy. This saves money on your energy bill and protects our environment by reducing the home’s carbon footprint. All this good stuff has led many Seattle area home owners to invest in solar. But, what many people have not yet caught on to is that solar panels also increase the value of your home.

Selling a Solar Home Is Easier Than You Think

As solar technology becomes increasingly popular across the U.S., so too have the demand for homes with built-in solar panels. A study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy reveals that property buyers are willing to pay more for a solar-energy-ready home. This is because the financial and environmental benefits are quite appealing to them. Not only that, but the presence of solar panels could increase the property value by 3-4%. It’s definitely a win-win situation for both the buyer and seller.
