Natalie, one of my clients, had a mother who resembled Erica in many ways. Natalieâs mother had been raped as a young woman; during her childhood, Natalie repeatedly heard that nothing she suffered could ever compare with her motherâs suffering. Natalie felt as if her own experience didnât matter.
The cost of installing solar power on a mid-sized home is between $30,000 to $40,000 dollars, which covers about 30 panels. If youâre connecting off the grid, expect a higher price tag to cover the cost of extra wiring and materials. Those 30 panels will produce about 8350 kW hours of energy a year or 22 kW hours a day.
New research sponsored by the Department of Energy shows that buyers are willing to pay more for homes with rooftop solar panels â a finding that may strengthen the case for factoring the value of sustainable features into home appraisals.esearchers found that buyers were willing to pay a premium of $15,000 for a home with the average-size solar photovoltaic system (3.6 kilowatts, or 3,600 watts), compared with a similar home without one. Put another way, that translates to about four additional dollars per watt of solar power.
