No, installing solar panels does not result in a lien on your property, as clearly stated in your Solar Agreement. However, in certain areas, we are obliged to file notices that designate the owner the solar equipment. This is a routine procedure and should not be confused with a property lien. Upon the sale and title transfer of the property, we promptly remove these notices. If the property is sold, we can also reissue these notices in the new homeowner’s name. Furthermore, at the request of the transaction, these notices can be removed before the property sale is finalized, ensuring a smooth and clear transition.
Right away! No upfront payment is required for installing your solar system and you start benefiting right away. Once it’s operational, you’ll start benefiting from a reduced rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for your energy usage, leading to immediate savings on your electricity bills.
According to research by ICF International, a prominent consultancy in energy and technology, reducing your annual electricity expenses by $1 can increase your home’s market value by $20. This means a $1,000 reduction in your energy costs could potentially boost your home’s value by $20,000.
Furthermore, data from the U.S. Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy suggests homes equipped with solar panels tend to sell twice as fast compared to those without, making solar investment not just energy-efficient but also financially wise for homeowners.
