Solar power can increase a home’s market value according to a study conducted by Zillow, the real estate listing and information company. In California, where new home construction will be required to have solar panels beginning in 2020, a state study found that solar power could help homeowners save up to $19,000 during a 30-year period.
According to Sarah Mikhitarian, Zillow’s senior economist, “There is increased demand for green living. More than 80% of buyers say energy-efficient features are important in selecting a home”.
