Solar Finance

Going solar means it could potentially eliminate or reduce your electricity bill, increase your asset value, and protect your home from rising energy costs. Right now, it’s all about your carbon footprint, so going solar is a great way to reduce it.

A very important difference

There is a very important difference between solar panel loans and other home loans: a solar panel loan allows you to own assets that generate significant financial value. This includes the value of electricity generated by the solar panel system during its lifetime and 30% of the federal investment tax and other applicable rebates and incentives such as solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs). Although the new kitchen or terrace is a good addition to your home, they do not offer the same kind of financial benefits.

Did you know that solar installation increases the value of your home? Because solar is in such high demand in this day and age, a potential buyer would be more interested in buying a home that already has it installed, so that they do not have to do it themselves. This way, if you already have it, your home can be priced higher than it would without it. So, in the long run, if you decide to sell, you may not be losing out on money.
