Ready to Go Solar?
Energy-efficient eBuilt™ homes can save you up to 50% on your power bill annually 1 , and even more if you add a renewable solar energy system after purchasing your home.
Adding solar panels converts your home into a “net zero” home, which means your home can theoretically generate as much energy as it consumes.
Solar Installation Recommendations
Solar Installation Recommendations
For eBuilt™ homes, we recommend a ground installation for solar panels for several reasons:
Ground installation allows you to place the panels for optimal energy generation without impacting the direction your home faces.
Improper roof installation from a third-party solar vendor could potentially damage your roof, which would not be covered by your home warranty.
The US Department of Energy recommends you partner with a reputable solar vendor certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).
Energy.gov has created a thorough online homeowner’s guide to going solar. Topics include information about how solar works, how to start the process of adding solar to your home, solar storage, and links to other comprehensive solar information sources. The site also provides information about tax incentives for solar investments.
