It\u2019s a question increasingly on the minds of consumers who are interested in the cost-benefit analysis of residential solar installations, also known as photovoltaic systems. If you haven\u2019t already sold a property with solar panels, you probably will soon, so it\u2019s important to understand the industry pitches and the potential gains for homeowners and investors.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Currently, the U.S. has 2 million solar PV residential and commercial installations, up from 1 million three years ago, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. The total is expected to reach 3 million by 2021.<\/span><\/p><div data-hook=\"rcv-block5\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">The growing interest in solar installations is easy to understand. \u201cA lot of people like the idea that, number one, they\u2019re going to be paying less for electricity, and number two, they\u2019re locking in the price for electricity; they know exactly what they\u2019re going to pay for electricity for the next 20 [or] 30 years,\u201d says Vikram Aggarwal, CEO of EnergySage, a website that screens PV system installers and allows homeowners and businesses to request competitive quotes.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div><div data-hook=\"rcv-block6\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">Once a system is installed, a homeowner typically pays a small monthly charge to be connected to the utility. This means they can divide the cost of the system by the monthly cost they have been paying for electricity to find out how long it will take to break even; after that, the savings continue indefinitely. For example, if homeowners have a monthly $215 electric bill, and $15 of that is the connection to the utility, they can install a PV system costing $15,000 to save $200 per month and pay off the cost of the solar installation in just over six years.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div><div data-hook=\"rcv-block7\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">In parts of the country where power outages are common, solar installations with battery storage have an additional appeal because homeowners can store electricity for times when the grid is down. Battery storage is growing in popularity in California, the top state for solar installations, where concern over wildfires has caused utilities to repeatedly shut off power, and in Florida and Texas, where hurricanes led to power outages.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div><div data-hook=\"rcv-block10\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To learn more about Comparison Shopping, Survey Findings, and Tax Information regarding solar upgrades,<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/magazine\/real-estate-news\/home-and-design\/the-sun-is-shining-on-solar\">Click Here &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Source: Realtor Magazine<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5baabfb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5baabfb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2ab0a9\" data-id=\"f2ab0a9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rise of Solar Energy in Residential Homes! &#8211; Provided by Realtor Magazine How much value does a solar installation add to a property?
