Solar Homes Sell Faster

A nationwide homebuilding company and a solar systems manufacturer both recently reported that new homes fitted with solar panels outsell their non-solar competitors by about two to one.

Woodside Homes says that since they began offering an energy-saving and solar package as standard for subdivisions in two Southern California cities, home sales have nearly doubled, from two or three a month to four or five. SunPower Corporation, a Silicon Valley manufacturer of solar equipment and supplier to several large homebuilders, including Woodside, reports similar results for solar-equipped, energy efficient homes. Besides liking the reduced energy bills, many buyers also seem to have climate effects in mind and appreciate the ability to reduce their environmental impact.
