SOLAR PV: Technology and Valuation

How much value does solar add? Saving money is the primary motive for owners of both new and existing homes to invest in solar, but an even stronger market driver may be CA building codes. CA policy has shifted to an emphasis on all-electric homes powered by solar…this plus power safety shut-offs and disaster-related power losses are fueling the ongoing momentum of residential solar sales.

  • The first question to ask about a solar system
  • The most important question to answer re: valuation of a solar system
  • How to determine value of solar PV systems
  • Key essential points to include in listings
