Solar in the News

A fellow EcoBroker Certified real estate agent, Simone Healey, had an exceptionally informative interview on CNBC recently. Simone is an agent with Vikki Healey Properties in Maywoood, NJ. In this interview she speaks about a rennovation of an antique home c.1767.

The home is having an addition built as well as an energy-efficiency upgrade to the older part of the home. The energy-efficieny measures include added insulation, heating and cooling equipment upgrades and solar panels to generate electricity.


The interview centers around the associated costs of the "green" upgrades. It demonstrates how quickly those upgrades can provide a return on your investment. It also talks about solar incentives from the government to make the payoff sooner and longer lasting.

The video is 3 minutes as 45 seconds.
