Many cutting-edge builders in Colorado are incorporating solar into their construction process. From making a house “solar ready” to installing solar PV systems as a standard feature, each approach offers homebuyers an opportunity to integrate solar more beautifully into their new home. It is also an opportunity for builders to become educated about solar and enhance their marketability to new homebuyers. Solar PV makes sense not only environmentally and socially, but financially as well. Rebates and tax credits combine to reduce total system cost by more than 50 percent.

The investment you will make in a solar PV system will allow your buyers to save on rising electricity costs for years to come. This will give you a powerful marketing advantage over conventional homes, which are more susceptible to rising energy costs.

Colorado homebuyers today are much savvier about energy issues than they used to be. More and more buyers are asking about solar options, and the builders that offer them have a distinct advantage over those that aren’t meeting this demand. Including solar in the mortgage is the best way to finance a system, especially at today’s interest rates.
