[RE-wrenches] PV and home value

[Joel Davidson]

Hello Marco,

The October 1998 issue of the Appraisal Journal reported that the market 
value of a home increases $20 for every $1 decrease in Annual Utility Cost. 
The follow-up article in the October 1999 issue of Appraisal Journal, 
reinforces the first report.

Also Remodeling magazine does an annual value chart 
http://www.remodeling.hw.net/search.aspx?query=value

...and a blatant plug for the 3rd edition of The New Solar Electric Home, 
see pages 120-122.
