[/vc_column_text][/vc_mad_accordion_item][vc_mad_accordion_item title=”How do solar panels affect property values?”][vc_column_text]For many homeowners thinking about going solar the question of what happens to their property value, Here few research studies completed to answer this question. Researchers have looked at this question as well. Here’s what they’ve found:

  •  A study conducted by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2011 found that homes that have solar electric systems installed actually have a better market value and sell for better prices compared to those houses that do not.
  •  Another study conducted by NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) also found that solar panels did increase the value of a home at the point of sale by 4 – 5%.
  •  A survey of 1,600 Ontario residents found that 92% of homebuyers would look for energy-efficiency features in their new home
  •  Canadians would overwhelmingly choose a house with energy efficiency upgrades over updated finishes like granite countertops or hardwood flooring.
  •  When you sell a solar home, not only are you selling your home but you’re also selling a source of income

Various mounting solutions are available—such as fixed-tilt racking, ballasted systems, and rail-based or rail-less mounts—each tailored to specific roof types and structural considerations. These systems often require minor penetrations or modifications to the roofing membrane to ensure secure attachment. Crucially, all solar mounting hardware must comply with rigorous structural engineering standards and relevant building codes to qualify for government incentives and ensure the long-term mechanical integrity of the system under environmental loads such as wind and snow.
Proper installation in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications is critical to ensure system performance and to minimize any impact on the roof structure.Our technicians are extensively trained in the Radiant roof mounting system and adhere strictly to best practices during installation. Meticulous attention is given to securing the system without compromising the roof’s integrity, ensuring long-term durability and safeguarding your property against environmental exposure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_mad_accordion_item][/vc_mad_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
