The Benefits of Pearl Certification

Here at ESP, we've found that Pearl Certification is very appealing from the perspective of both realtors and appraisers. Read on to see some of the other benefits of Pearl Certification, specifically in the solar energy industry.

ESP Works with Pearl Certification to Capture Higher Home Values with Solar Installation

One of the many features that helps set Energy Service Partners above the rest is our accreditation with Pearl, an industry-approved, third-party program that certifies homes for their energy efficiency. Pearl rewards homeowners for making upgrades, such as solar installations, that help save energy, augment comfort, and ultimately, increase the value of homes.

Premier Contractors

Pearl certifies that partner companies are premier contractors, skilled in the installation of efficient equipment. Being a Pearl partner means undergoing a demanding verification process that evaluates standards for customer satisfaction and work quality. Not every contractor can say they're Pearl certified—by choosing to work with a Pearl contractor like ESP, customers can have confidence that their home is being improved by qualified professionals committed to the highest standards in the solar energy industry.

An Unparalleled Network of Partners

Once a home is Pearl certified, homeowners gain access to an extensive network of Pearl partners that can assist with everything from installation and maintenance to real estate transactions. Agents and appraisers are also trained through Pearl to recognize the added value of certified homes and solar installations.

A Seamless Process

Pearl has designed a seamless process for certification. From the initial assessment to the final certification, the process is straightforward and efficient. Homeowners don't need to navigate complex paperwork or procedures—Pearl handles the certification process, making it easy to capture the value of home improvements.

Assistance for Homeowners Looking to Sell or Refinance

For homeowners looking to sell or refinance their homes, Pearl certification provides valuable documentation that helps capture the added value of solar installations and other energy-efficient upgrades. Real estate agents and appraisers can use Pearl certification to accurately assess and communicate the value of these improvements to potential buyers or lenders.

The Pearl Solar Equity Calculator

Pearl offers a Solar Equity Calculator that helps homeowners understand the potential value their solar installation adds to their home. This tool provides valuable insights for both current homeowners and those looking to make informed decisions about solar investments.

Two Primary Goals of Pearl Certification

Pearl certification serves two primary goals: first, to recognize and reward homeowners who have made energy-efficient improvements to their homes; and second, to help these improvements be recognized and valued in the real estate market. By achieving both goals, Pearl helps ensure that homeowners who invest in solar and other energy-efficient upgrades see a return on their investment, both through energy savings and increased home value.

Conclusion

Pearl certification offers numerous benefits for homeowners considering solar installation. From ensuring quality workmanship to helping capture home value, Pearl provides a comprehensive framework that benefits everyone involved in the solar installation process.
