Investing in a solar energy system is a great move for homeowners who want to not only generate clean energy, but also lower electricity bills, and protect themselves from rising energy costs. But some homeowners knowing they may sell the house in the near future may hesitate in their decision to go solar, unsure if it is worth it when they put their home on the market. Is it really harder to sell a home with solar? 

California’s Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is designed to help homeowners living in these impacted areas considered Fire Zones, to cover most of the costs associated with installing a home battery. This state initiative is a program paid for and available to the utility ratepayers of SDG&E, SoCal Gas, SCE, and PG&E.
