NRV Blueprint March 2025

Solar Rough-Ins for New Construction If you are thinking about investing in solar power now or in the future, preparing during a new-home build is the best and most cost-effective time to do so. Necessary wiring and conduit can be added behind walls during construction to save time and money down the road, and the homebuyer can bundle the cost of going solar into the home loan to make things easier and more affordable. walls during construction to save time and money down the road, and the homebuyer can bundle the cost of going solar into the home loan to make things easier and more affordable.

A Greener Home Starts Today Whether you’re building a new home or improving an existing one, there are endless opportunities to make your living space more energy efficient and sustainable. While it is sometimes easier to incorporate energy-efficient designs and technologies during the construction phase of a new build, such as proper orientation, quality insulation and efficient appliances, existing homes also benefit from energy upgrades and retrofits like smart thermostats, LED bulb lighting, energy-efficient appliances, insulation upgrades, and solar panels. By making these changes, you’re not just reducing your energy bills, you’re also contributing to a greener future. The planet – and your wallet – will both thank you. Plus, with all of the tax credits and rebates available through the Inflation Reduction Act, there’s never been a better time to embrace sustainability!* *This article discusses federal tax credits and rebates available as of January 29, 2025.
