The best way to finance the installation of home solar power system is by taking a
dedicated, specific mortgage for solar or green
energy. The term this industry is using for this type of mortgage is EEM which stands for Energy Efficient
Mortgage.
The main reason for allowing people to take dedicated mortgage was pressure from the governments. Many
governments try to encourage home owners to invest in solar
energy and do it in various methods such as tax incentives, subsidizing installation and allowing low rate
mortgage to be taken by home owners.
The EEM is a loan that is like an add-on to your home mortgage. The bank or the mortgage company takes the
required investment on one end and the calculated raise in the value of your property and makes a combined
calculation just how much of the property post installation will be mortgaged to the bank.
It is a well known fact substantiated in many surveys that once you install the home solar power system the market value of your home
jumps sometimes in more than 15%. So it basically allows you to increase the mortgage on your home without
increasing the percentage of your home that is mortgaged.
So this actually gives you the opportunity to install a new home solar power system without actually taking
money out of your pocket. Most of the investment will be funded by the mortgage. Since the interest is recognized
for tax and you also get additional tax incentives for installing home solar power system, the entire financing of
the installation becomes a good deal.
However there are several conditions to energy efficient mortgages. It can only be taken for new homes or
existing ones and only for family, duplexes, condos etc.
If you wish to progress with that, you need to get advice. The best source is your local department of energy
(federal or state). They can refer you to local mortgage companies and give you all the details you need. If you
are building a new home, you can consult with your building company; in most case they will have all the
information for you.
