Happy Homeowners are Contagious

When it comes to selling solar home installations, word-of-mouth and personal referrals are some of the most effective sales tools. A recent survey of owners of new homes with SunPower solar systems indicates that 92 percent would recommend a new solar powered home to a friend.*   Solar homeowners are proud to be lowering their energy costs and enjoy making a positive environmental impact.  And they’re eager to encourage others to follow their lead.


Here are some of the many reasons why new homeowners are bragging about their SunPower solar systems:

• Homebuyers can receive a one-time federal tax credit equal to 30% of the system price, often $5,000 or more.**
• Solar power systems from SunPower can protect against rising energy costs, lower monthly electric bills and help predict monthly expenses.
• A residential solar system can increase the resale value of a home.
• The price of a new residential solar system can be financed with a mortgage. Given today’s ultra-low interest rates, financing solar energy has never made more sense.
• Most new home communities with solar also install other energy efficiency features that complement the performance of a solar system and further reduce utility bills.
• Homeowners are guaranteed to save money while helping the environment by using clean, renewable energy.
