In general, for every $1/year energy savings add $20 to the home's value. See http://www1.resnet.us/ratings/overview/resources/appraisal/default.htm

If someone spends $X for a system and saves $Y a month/year, how is this being calculated? Do we have actuaries with enough empirical data to suggest what the numbers would look like? Realizing alot has to do with location, current cost per kWh of electricity etc. Could have swore there were some studies done to imput the value of two homes on the same street, one with solar and one without- for some granular details on the delta in values.
