Survey Says Solar Technology is #1 Homebuyer Request

A recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive^® on behalf of Trilogy by Shea Homes found that baby boomers rank solar technology (29%) as the number one most important feature of a green home, followed by energy-efficient appliances (16%) and dual pane windows (12%).  

In addition to solar power systems, standard features mentioned as  desired  include solar attic fans, Energy Star-rated efficient appliances, dual pane low-e windows, blown-in insulation from recycled cellulose, wood from sustainable forests, framing techniques that use less wood, and  leak minimizing construction via sealed ducts and penetrations.

Solar domestic water heating systems are now being recognized as the best solar technolgy investment available to most homeowners, and should be asked for by all customers looking to invest in green homes. The Velux Solar system is considered both builder and homeowner friendly!
