What exactly is a Solar-Ready Home PLUS™?
It builds on the basic Solar-Ready Home™ assessment by adding real electricity usage from the property, to estimate system size, expected savings and how solar can be planned before purchase through BrightNest Mortgage™. It may rely on one recent month of power bill data when available.
How is it different from a Solar-Ready Home™?
A Solar-Ready Home™ confirms the core physical requirements: roof condition, sun exposure and electrical readiness. PLUS adds the home’s power bill data, for clearer savings estimates and more precise system sizing.
Why review solar before buying a home?
It shows a home’s long-term energy costs and solar potential before you commit, and avoids revisiting solar after closing, when options are often limited to separate loans, added fees or separate solar filings.
Why does power bill analysis matter?
It shows how the home actually uses electricity and how local rates apply. Even one recent month helps model annual use, estimate directional savings and size a system more accurately than assumptions alone.
Where does PLUS fit in the buying process?
Before you make an offer, while you are still comparing homes. It is informational, buyer-driven and non-binding, and it creates no obligation for the buyer or the seller.
Does PLUS mean solar is already installed?
No. It confirms whether a property is suitable for solar and provides planning insights. Any decision to install solar is optional and separate.
Is solar inside the mortgage tax deductible?
When solar is included in a purchase through BrightNest Mortgage™, the interest on the solar portion may be treated as mortgage interest. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances, so confirm with a qualified tax professional.
How many properties can I analyze?
Up to four, so you can compare solar feasibility across homes before you decide.
Plan solar before closing.
Start with a home check, then add real usage data on the homes you are most interested in.
