Solar power delivers distinct benefits for homebuilders and homebuyers. While many upgrades and additions to homes such as granite countertops can greatly increase the purchase price of a home, SolarCity’s solar power options can allow homeowners to start saving money on energy costs immediately without increasing their purchase price. SolarCity allows the homebuyer to install solar panels for free, and pay less for solar electricity than they pay for utility bills.
For homebuilders, solar options represent an enticing (and eco-friendly) way to attract potential buyers to their new communities and homes. In fact, about 92 percent of Americans think that the United States should develop and use more solar energy.SolarCity’s solar power options do not increase construction costs for the homebuilder.
SolarCity provides homebuilders across the country with full-service solar solutions that include customer service, real-time monitoring, insurance and repairs for their homebuyers. SolarCity currently works with more than 80 builders across 9 states.
