What is Pearl Home Certification?
Pearl home certification is a nationally recognized third-party system that verifies and certifies a home's energy-efficient features—including solar systems, insulation, HVAC, and more. Homes that earn this certification are added to the Pearl Registry and receive a Home Investment Plan, which educates homeowners on how to further enhance their energy score and home value.
Key Features:
- Recognized by the Department of Energy and National Association of Realtors
- Backed by appraisal tools and MLS compatibility
- Supports solar tax incentives and green mortgage eligibility
Why It Matters in the U.S. Solar Market
According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, homes with solar sell for approximately $15,000 more than non-solar homes. When paired with pearl home certification, this increase can go even higher. In fact, Pearl-certified homes have been shown to appraise for 5% more, and sell faster on the market.
