You will want to consider the placement of your home with respect to sun exposure. South-facing<br />
homes are ideal, but other posions can also work depending on the slope and direcon of your<br />
roof. The shade from tree cover may also play a part in the placement.<br />
Return on Investment<br />
The average return on investment (ROI) for solar panels in the United States is roughly 10%. The<br />
ROI isn’t the same as the payback period. That’s part of it, but the rate of return and the cost<br />
savings for energy should also be factored into the decision.<br />
Rebates and Tax Credits<br />
For solar power systems installed between 2022 and 2032, tax credits are 30%. You must meet<br />
certain residenal requirements, so check with your tax accountant before signing a contract to<br />
learn more. You can also review the federal guidelines for more details.<br />
Purchase? Lease? Power Purchase Agreement? Or?<br />
There are many types and structures of "Solar Agreements" and you really need to understand<br />
what you are agreeing to before signing on the doed line... I oen find when assisng clients<br />
with the sale or purchase of a home with solar panels that they don't know what type of contract<br />
they have signed - it is VERY important to understand the opons, and to understand the terms of<br />
your agreement. You will need to know what type of agreement it is, what is and is not included<br />
in the price, warranty & maintenance informaon, and more.<br />
Need help?<br />
I will be happy to answer any quesons that I can, and to direct you to trustworthy experts for any<br />
quesons that I can't answer (people who aren't just looking to sell you something...). I'm here to<br />
assist you with all of your real estate needs!<br />
