Solar Energy ArticlesSolar Panel Installation and Real Estate In this article, we are going to have a look at the relationship between the solar panel installations and the real estate. Let us see how one factor i.e. solar panel installation influences the other factor i.e. real estate and to what extent. It is highly observed that the homes in California, which is considered as a highly livable city in the United States sell for much more value that the counterparts that exhibit no installation of solar panels. This is the observation found at a research study done by some of the students at the University of California in Berkeley. The outcome of the study indicated that the solar panel homes were sold at $5.50 per watt as an extra price compared to the other homes. This altogether fetched an approximate average amount of $17000 extra for an individual house. This is a significant amount of increment caused to add value to the real estate. The solar power as well as the wind induced power face opposition from the general public with a view to the not in backyard mentality incurred by it. The residents of the various types of houses do not want to showcase in any manner that there are some installations of solar panel hardware equipment in the vicinity of their homes. This is an argument that is typically true for the solar panels due to the huge panels that either needs to be installed on to the surface of the roofs or into the garden/backyards of the homes of people. This can be challenging and also considered as an eyesore for all the residents in that area. This is an additional study that is funded by the government to the students of the University in Berkeley. Not only this, the study also realized that apart from the rise in the value of the property, there was also a proportional increment in the value of the real estate when the homes were especially located in close proximity to the solar panel power plant outputs in the surrounding areas. The scenario of the wind power generation and that of the solar panel installation to generate electricity is very much different. The wind power generation demands for the turbines that are huge as well as massive. There needs to be a provision of a wind farm so that there is a free flow of wind without any obstruction for the wind to blow. Hence the nearby vicinity of the wind turbines must not have any tall rise buildings in the surrounding areas. Hence, it can be very well concluded that the wind turbine installation is not possible in the cities. It requires free land areas like those of the country sides. The added advantage of such concept is that the real estate where the wind turbines or the solar panels are installed can be used for the multiple purposes. These include, but are not limited to, agriculture, in case of the wind turbine installation. The same analogy for the solar panels can be a classic example of roofing. The reports that are generated out of the detailed study by the students of University of California in Berkeley suggest that the not in my background concept does not suit well and is against the favor of the solar panel installation advantages. These installations serve a much bigger purpose. That is, these are the solid examples of green technology that have revolutionized the way in which the solar panels are gaining more and more popularity. They are the motivators served to the people with a purpose of adapting a greener way of electricity consumption with a lot of benefits coupled with it for the environment. Related articles
