Investing in solar power (aka "solar PV") for your home not only increases asset value dollar-for-dollar invested, but can also decrease the time on market should you decide to sell. With phenomenal value-retention year after year, your solar power system can be expected to stabilize utility costs and provide increasing value as utility rates continue to climb!

"Researchers found that buyers were willing to pay a premium of $15,000 for a home with the average-size solar photovoltaic system (3.6 kilowatts, or 3,600 watts), compared with a similar home without one. Put another way, that translates to about four additional dollars per watt of solar power."
