Why are people opting to buy a solar home?

For buyer’s, solar systems are a long-term investment with systems having a lifespan of 20+ years, with little to no maintenance costs. A 20+ year lifespan means a buyer can expect to resell their property with the 5% added value. Assuming they sell within the 20 years.

Living in a solar home means buyers can sleep easy knowing their home doesn’t release harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
