Studies conducted since the early 1970's have consistently concluded that energy-efficient homes earn a higher resale price than comparable homes without such efficiency.

This means that investing in decreasing your electricity bill does not only reap benefits today, but also pays significant dividends in the future.

The latest study of the ENERGY STAR program shows that home value increased by $12.52 per $1 decrease in annual energy costs. Newer studies show an increase of home value of approximately $20 per $1 decrease in annual energy costs

Accordingly, a 5 kW PV system, the most popular system size selected by our customers, increases the value of your Westchester home by $11,400 - $18,200.
