Determining the Value of Solar Photovoltaic Power Systems

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. ? Consistent appraisals of homes and businesses outfitted with photovoltaic (PV) installations are a real challenge for the nation?s real estate industry, but a new tool developed by Sandia National Laboratories and Solar Power Electric? and licensed by Sandia addresses that issue. Sandia scientists, in partnership with Jamie Johnson of Solar Power Electric?, [...]
