Solar & Energy Upgrade
Cut bills, add value.
Rooftop solar, battery storage and efficient appliances now have real payback periods — and combined, they routinely add to a property's appeal and value. Funding through a refinance means those upgrades sit at home-loan rates rather than green-loan or store-card rates.
Things to consider
- Some lenders offer discounted 'green' rates on borrowings tied to eligible energy upgrades — worth asking about.
- Federal STC rebates and state schemes can meaningfully lower the upfront cost — factor them in before you borrow.
- Payback is faster with a battery if you have significant evening usage; less so if not.
- Warranties, installer accreditation and system sizing matter more than the headline panel wattage.
